*The only Firetruck which one could interact with which was fantastic*

The entire space is a simple two story enclosure. The lower floor was the star and featured a handful of firetrucks through the ages and the various civil defense toy models and badges in the main lobby. These were honestly the most fun to the visit.

The upper story would have been more fun with their interactive displays but due COVID was mostly a walk through of more modern day fire fighting equipment and featured other aspects of Singapore's Civil Defense response. 
Nice exploration of this iconic and oldest fire-station, and can be easily covered in 45minutes.
