Skywatch Friday-Building Around Coleman Street (Part 4)-Central Fire Station
As I walked towards the end of Coleman Street, I saw this familar red and white building. Oh yes, I remember this. Each time when I visited my late grandparents during my childhood time, I would love to come here and watch the fire engines going out and coming in of the fire station.

Beautiful buildings and nice clear skies.
That is such a lovely design of the bldg Alice. I'm glad it's still being used today.
That is the wildest fire station I have ever seen.
Lovely architecture and pretty blue skies.
Glad to see it's still around and part of heritage. Such an imposing lovely building.
Nice building, reminds me of our old train station building here. Have a splendid weekend Alice..hugs/M

I am so glad that they didn't pull down these buildings. So beautiful relic of the colonial days. Make such a rich history.
Have a good weekend.

Alice: What a neat idea to keep moving out to give you the full view of the building and sky.
Beautiful architecture in the foreground, you have captured them well.
I forgot to mention, the right answers are up.
Thanks all for the visit and comments. :) Yes, it was built during the times when Singapore was governed by the British. That's explained the many buildings that have colonial designs similar to UK.
It is still very much in use.
Alex, that's my favourite too. When I was very young, I used to come here and watch the fire engines and sometimes when I heard the siren, I would have to stand between the pillars to make way for the fire engine to come out of the station. Life is so much simple then and fun.
Fishing Guy, yes I have lots of photos that are in other corners of Singapore that some Singaporeans dont go often. :)
I hope to feature more interesting corners of Singapore.
Awesome fire station. Looks very colonial indeed. Just like some of the buildings in Chennai, India. (Police Commisioner office on Beach Road).
