About MHA - Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF)

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) is a uniformed organisation under the purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs. The main role of SCDF is to provide fire-fighting, rescue, and emergency ambulance services; mitigate hazardous materials incidents; and formulate, implement, and enforce regulations on fire safety and civil defence shelter matters.

In 1982, the National Civil Defence Plan was launched, spearheading emergency preparedness for the nation. With the enactment of the Civil Defence Act in 1986, the SCDF was established as an independent organisation under the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). The same year, the Hotel New World collapse led to joint operations between the SCDF and Singapore Fire Service (SFS). Due to the similarity in roles and functions, the SCDF and SFS were formally integrated on 15 April 1989.

Over the years, the SCDF has improved its life-saving operations through innovations and programmes to enhance fire-fighting, rescue capabilities, and public education. The Light Fire Attack Vehicle (The Red Rhino) and Tracked Fire-Fighting Vehicle are some of the customised solutions developed to increase operational capabilities. The SCDF actively engages the community through public educational programmes and community activities to enhance resilience and emergency preparedness.

Today, the Force is recognized as a professional body of well-trained officers and men, ready to respond to emergencies 24/7. An operationally ready SCDF, working with a resilient population, helps ensure the nation's capability to handle emergencies.
