Fire Station Open House

You can actually visit a fire station in Singapore to experience the life of a fireman.

I was skeptical at first. But it turned out to be pretty fun. 

You get a proper tour of the station with an assigned fireman. They will bring you through their systems, explain how the fire fighting vehicles (which you get to climb on-board), demonstration on how they use the fireman's pole and equipments.



Everyone gets a kick out of shooting water from the hose.


It is amazing how evolved the fire trucks and fire fighting machines are.  
 

It is a plus that the firemen love kids. It turned out to be quite a fun and educational day for everyone.

The chickadee received a souvenier before we left. We had a lot of fun putting them together and they are now sitting proudly on a shelf.



Tip: Go in a smaller group (less than 10). That way you can actually receive better attention as each group will have its own fireman as a guide.
