Singapore’s marine firefighters face a high-tech future where advanced technologies will be leveraged to enhance its response capabilities.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) recently marked a decade since it took over the marine firefighting and rescue functions from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).
At its inception in April 2012, the SCDF marine command, later renamed marine division, had just 50 staff and only two marine fire vessels which it had taken over from the MPA.
