Although the Central Fire Station's open house (Sats, 9-1130) has been a regular feature for years now, it seems that many Singaporeans are still unaware of this wonderful (and free) place they can bring their kiddies to! As a reporter, I had the privilege of even climbing up the clock tower when the fire station's museum opened some years ago. I also covered quite a number of Civil Defence stories so it was nostalgic to see the vehicles like the Red Rhino (above) when we visited the Fire Station last Saturday.

GULP! He cried a lil when he first got on, and then was wordless, stunned to be up so high for the first time.
A really big truck for a really small boy.
Channelling his inner paramedic.
And the chaps who made it all possible! Cheerful, funny, and obliging firefighters who let us see their more light-hearted side. They joked around, and thrilled the kids with their fire pole descending stunts - even stopping to pose for pix midair!
