Read a few mummies blog & came to know that most Fire Station has open house on Saturday morning.. Since Benson love Fire Engine so much we decided to let him explore more in this open house..
I go thru their website & happy to know that " Sengkang Fire Station " has open house.. We choose Sengkang because we thought of going swimming after visiting the station.. If not we would have go to central one.. But lots of feedback saying that central Fire Station is super crowed.. So I'm glad that I had made the choice to visit the Sengkang Fire Station..
Once reached the station you will need to give one IC for register.. & get ur visitor pass.. Benson is given one fireman hat.. Then 2 officers show us around & explain all about their Fire Truck, there is 4 generation.. The oldest one u can only see it in the Central Fire Station which is located at Hill St.. Today We only get to see 3 generation.. They explained in details of all the equipment that is in the Fire Truck .. We were amazed by lots of powerful equipment & hose that they used to put out fire, for accident cases & many other kind of cases.. we didn't know that Fire Engine actually has so many equipment in truck such as, drilling, cutting, chemical, different sizes of fire hose & many other device.. they use different vehicle for different cases.. There is those motorbike type , super big Fire Truck, smaller one which is the latest, Fire truck with huge & long ladder can reach up to 8 floor & Red Rino

They showed us how they hold & operate their hose, after the demo, Ben & Benson get to try it too =) after that we went into their office to know how their operation is like inside the office.. They showed us maps for Singapore & there is marking on which road is the fastest to get to the scene.. & which area has most risk..

Before the session ends.. We get to see the slide down poll.. Is 3 story high.. They showed us the position used for them to slide down & amazingly Singapore had their own unique style.. If I didn't heard wrong Singapore style is invented in 1970s..
