SINGAPORE - The Singapore Civil Defence Force will deploy in early 2023 a pair of its new emergency vehicles that will take its firefighting and rescue capabilities to new heights.
Plans for the two vehicles - which will be deployed at Kallang Fire Station and Punggol Fire Station - were revealed at the SCDF’s workplan seminar more than three years ago. They can fight raging fires with a handheld firefighting nozzle or a built-in water monitor - capable of discharging 3,800 litres of water per minute - that draws water from fire hydrants in the vicinity.SCDF said the new vehicle, developed in collaboration with the Home Team Science and Technology Agency, will enhance its operational readiness and response to high-rise fires in Singapore’s rapidly changing urban landscape.
During the Fire Safety Asia Conference and Exhibition, Minister of State for Home Affairs Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim was taken to see the high level articulated fire and rescue vehicle that was on display at the Singapore Expo carpark, along with SCDF’s seventh-generation ambulance.
