Central Fire Station

2017
The Central Fire Station along Hill Street is an iconic building familiar to generations of Singaporeans. Back in the 1920s, its hose tower was also Singapore’s highest point. Despite being over a hundred years old, it is still functioning to this day. The artist has personally witnessed fire engines charging out of the red gates! Inside the station, there is also a heritage gallery telling stories of how firefighting has evolved in Singapore over the decades. In 1989, the Singapore Fire Service was integrated into the Singapore Civil Defence Force, marking a new chapter in the long history of firefighting in Singapore which began in 1869.
This is a series of sketches of historical buildings and structures in Singapore. Largely monochromatic, these sketches evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding Singaporeans of how far the nation has come. Customisable wordings can also be written below the image upon request, at an additional charge.
