Fire and Ambulance Services

<h1>Fire and Ambulance Services</h1> <p>Fire and ambulance services in Singapore are delivered primarily by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), a uniformed Home Team organisation under the Ministry of Home Affairs. SCDF's main roles include firefighting, rescue, and emergency medical services; mitigating hazardous-materials incidents; and formulating, implementing, and enforcing fire-safety and civil-defence shelter regulations (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf">SCDF About, accessed Aug 2026</a>). This article deepens operational firefighting, the emergency ambulance and EMS tiered-response system, and the Fire Safety Act / Fire Code regulatory frame. Everyday dialling rules for <strong>995</strong> versus <strong>999</strong>, NurseFirst, SMS <strong>70995</strong>, and the <strong>1777</strong> phase-out are covered in <a href="/en/knowledge/article/sgkb.daily-life.emergency-services-and-safety">emergency services and safety</a>; Public Warning System sirens, SG Alert, and shelters sit in <a href="/en/knowledge/article/sgkb.public-safety.civil-defence-preparedness">civil defence preparedness</a>.</p> <h2>Firefighting and rescue operations</h2> <p>SCDF firefighting and rescue response is a round-the-clock operational capability for fires, entrapments, and other life-threatening incidents reported through <strong>995</strong> (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf">SCDF About, accessed Aug 2026</a>; <a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/">SCDF home, accessed Aug 2026</a>). SCDF and the former Singapore Fire Service were formally integrated on <strong>15 April 1989</strong>, consolidating firefighting with civil defence under one force (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf">SCDF About, accessed Aug 2026</a>).</p> <p>SCDF has developed compact and specialised appliances for Singapore's dense urban environment. The <strong>Light Fire Attack Vehicle (Red Rhino)</strong> and the <strong>Unmanned Fire Fighting Machine (UFM)</strong> are among the customised solutions SCDF cites for improving firefighting capability (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf">SCDF About, accessed Aug 2026</a>). SCDF's robotics narrative also describes the smaller <strong>Pumper Firefighting Machine (PFM)</strong> for light-factory and shophouse-scale fires and the <strong>Red Rhino Robot (3R)</strong> for early heat-source detection in support of crews (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf/media-room/our-stories/storyarticledetail/leveraging-robotics-in-scdf">SCDF robotics story, accessed Aug 2026</a>). Fleet generation details and deployment maps change over time; treat appliance names as capability types rather than a fixed station inventory.</p> <p>In calendar year <strong>2025</strong>, SCDF responded to <strong>2,050</strong> fire calls — a <strong>3%</strong> increase from 2024 — with <strong>94</strong> fire injuries requiring hospital admission after SCDF conveyance and <strong>6</strong> fire fatalities attributed to burns, smoke inhalation, or both (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf/media-room/latest-happenings/newsarticledetail/emergency-medical-services--fire-and-enforcement-statistics-2025">SCDF 2025 statistics news, accessed Aug 2026</a>; <a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/docs/default-source/media-room-(publications)/annual-statistics/scdf-annual-statistics-on-ems-fire-enforcement-2025.pdf">SCDF 2025 statistics PDF, accessed Aug 2026</a>). Residential fires rose to <strong>1,051</strong> calls (<strong>+8.6%</strong>); non-residential premises fires rose to <strong>471</strong> (<strong>+13.5%</strong>); non-building premises fires (vegetation, vehicles, discarded items in open spaces) fell to <strong>528</strong> (<strong>−13%</strong>) (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/docs/default-source/media-room-(publications)/annual-statistics/scdf-annual-statistics-on-ems-fire-enforcement-2025.pdf">SCDF 2025 statistics PDF, accessed Aug 2026</a>). In residential premises, <strong>unattended cooking</strong> (<strong>318</strong> calls) and <strong>electrical origin</strong> (<strong>304</strong> calls) remained the top two causes; active-mobility-device (AMD) fires overall fell to <strong>49</strong> calls (<strong>−26.9%</strong>) (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/docs/default-source/media-room-(publications)/annual-statistics/scdf-annual-statistics-on-ems-fire-enforcement-2025.pdf">SCDF 2025 statistics PDF, accessed Aug 2026</a>). Community First Responder alerts for minor fires through myResponder are a civilian layer alongside professional crews — see <a href="/en/knowledge/article/sgkb.daily-life.emergency-services-and-safety">emergency services and safety</a> for app channels. Hazardous-materials mitigation is part of SCDF's stated main roles but is not the same as routine residential fire attack (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf">SCDF About, accessed Aug 2026</a>).</p> <h2>Emergency medical services and ambulance operations</h2> <p>SCDF operates a <strong>24-hour Emergency Medical Services (EMS)</strong> system for medical emergencies across Singapore (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf/emergency-medical-services">SCDF EMS, accessed Aug 2026</a>). Callers reach EMS through <strong>995</strong>; deaf, hard-of-hearing, and speech-impaired persons may use SMS <strong>70995</strong> (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf/emergency-medical-services">SCDF EMS, accessed Aug 2026</a>).

Operations Centre specialists, supported by SCDF paramedics and Ministry of Health staff nurses, classify calls and may give pre-arrival advice such as CPR instructions (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf/emergency-medical-services">SCDF EMS, accessed Aug 2026</a>). From <strong>2023</strong>, the 995 Operations Centre sends ambulances only when calls are assessed as actual emergencies (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf/emergency-medical-services">SCDF EMS, accessed Aug 2026</a>). Since <strong>April 2019</strong>, SCDF has not conveyed non-emergency cases to hospitals; callers with minor ailments are directed to a GP, <a href="/en/knowledge/article/sgkb.healthcare.polyclinics-and-primary-care">polyclinic</a>, Urgent Care Centre, or to <strong>1777</strong> / private operators if they insist on ambulance transport (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf/emergency-medical-services">SCDF EMS, accessed Aug 2026</a>). The <strong>1777</strong> non-emergency referral hotline ceases on <strong>1 January 2027</strong>; thereafter MOH directs the public to private ambulance operators at go.gov.sg/pao, while <strong>995 emergency ambulance service is unaffected</strong> (<a href="https://www.moh.gov.sg/newsroom/1777-non-emergency-ambulance-hotline-to-cease--from-1-january-2027/">MOH 1777 cessation, accessed Aug 2026</a>).</p> <p>SCDF deploys Fire Response Specialists trained as Emergency Medical Technicians (<strong>FRS-EMTs</strong>) on <strong>Fire Bikes</strong> for rapid arrival ahead of an ambulance, and on the <strong>Fire Medical Vehicle (FMV)</strong> — a hybrid fire appliance and ambulance — for certain minor emergencies such as industrial and road traffic accidents (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf/emergency-medical-services">SCDF EMS, accessed Aug 2026</a>). From <strong>1 April 2019</strong>, out-of-hospital cardiac arrests can receive <strong>high-performance CPR</strong> with additional EMTs plus an emergency ambulance and Fire Bike (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf/emergency-medical-services">SCDF EMS, accessed Aug 2026</a>). Patients go to the <strong>nearest appropriate Ministry of Health-designated hospital by travel time</strong>; SCDF does not honour hospital-of-choice requests, and ambulance arrival alone does not guarantee A&amp;E priority (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf/emergency-medical-services">SCDF EMS, accessed Aug 2026</a>). Emergency conveyances are <strong>free</strong>; as published when accessed in <strong>August 2026</strong>, <strong>S$274</strong> is charged for each non-emergency case SCDF still conveys, with final emergency status decided by the receiving Emergency Department doctor (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/about-scdf/emergency-medical-services">SCDF EMS, accessed Aug 2026</a>).</p> <p>In <strong>2025</strong>, SCDF responded to <strong>257,158</strong> EMS calls (<strong>705</strong> per day), of which <strong>93.3%</strong> were emergency calls; seniors aged <strong>65 and above</strong> accounted for <strong>49.7%</strong> of EMS calls (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/docs/default-source/media-room-(publications)/annual-statistics/scdf-annual-statistics-on-ems-fire-enforcement-2025.pdf">SCDF 2025 statistics PDF, accessed Aug 2026</a>). Of emergency calls, <strong>78.6%</strong> were medical-related, <strong>16.9%</strong> trauma, and <strong>4.5%</strong> road traffic accidents (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/docs/default-source/media-room-(publications)/annual-statistics/scdf-annual-statistics-on-ems-fire-enforcement-2025.pdf">SCDF 2025 statistics PDF, accessed Aug 2026</a>). 2025 enhancements included <strong>Traffic Priority System</strong> rollout near public hospitals (final-mile signal priority, typically within about <strong>200 metres</strong> of enabled junctions) and trials of <strong>Dynamic Deployment Pods</strong> to stage ambulances nearer demand (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/docs/default-source/media-room-(publications)/annual-statistics/scdf-annual-statistics-on-ems-fire-enforcement-2025.pdf">SCDF 2025 statistics PDF, accessed Aug 2026</a>). Destination rules interact with the acute-care network in <a href="/en/knowledge/article/sgkb.healthcare.hospitals">hospitals</a>.</p> <h2>Fire safety regulation under the Fire Safety Act</h2> <p>Beyond emergency response, SCDF <strong>administers the Fire Safety Act and Civil Defence Shelter Act</strong>, setting and enforcing standards for fire-safe homes and workplaces (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/home/fire-safety">SCDF Fire Safety, accessed Aug 2026</a>). The <strong>Fire Safety Act 1993</strong> makes provision for fire safety and related matters (<a href="https://sso.agc.gov.sg/Act/FSA1993">SSO Fire Safety Act 1993, accessed Aug 2026</a>). The <strong>Code of Practice for Fire Precautions in Buildings 2023</strong> (<strong>Fire Code 2023</strong>) is SCDF's published minimum standard for building fire-safety provisions — covering function, design, management, operation, and maintenance to protect occupants and property in a fire (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/docs/default-source/fire-safety-docs/firecode-2023-111220241013.pdf?sfvrsn=b3dc3c15_2">SCDF Fire Code 2023 PDF, accessed Aug 2026</a>; <a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/fire-safety-services-listing/downloads/acts-codes-and-regulations">SCDF Acts, Codes and Regulations, accessed Aug 2026</a>).

Owners or occupiers of specified public, industrial, foreign-dormitory, hospital, taller private residential (non-HDB), engineered-timber, and mechanised-carpark buildings that meet published occupant-load, floor-area, height, or installed-system criteria must keep a valid FC so fire-safety systems remain tested and workable (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/fire-safety-services-listing/permits-and-certifications/fire-certificate">SCDF Fire Certificate, accessed Aug 2026</a>). For FC validity start dates from <strong>1 April 2026</strong>, validity extends to <strong>36 months</strong> (from the previous default <strong>12 months</strong>) where requirements are met, while owners must still arrange Professional Engineer inspections and submit annual FC forms in non-renewal years; revised fees are <strong>S$11</strong> per storey (residential) and <strong>S$36</strong> per storey (non-residential) on the three-year cycle (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/fire-safety-services-listing/permits-and-certifications/fire-certificate">SCDF Fire Certificate, accessed Aug 2026</a>; <a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/docs/default-source/fire-safety-docs/permits-and-certification/introduction-of-three-year-fire-certificate-regime-from-1-april-2026.pdf?sfvrsn=e66df331_1">SCDF three-year FC circular, accessed Aug 2026</a>). Occupying a designated building without a valid FC after expiry can attract prosecution; certain regulatory contraventions under the Fire Safety (Building and Pipeline Fire Safety) Regulations framing on the FC page attract a fine of up to <strong>S$10,000</strong>, imprisonment of up to <strong>six months</strong>, or both (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/fire-safety-services-listing/permits-and-certifications/fire-certificate">SCDF Fire Certificate, accessed Aug 2026</a>).</p> <p>In <strong>2025</strong> SCDF conducted <strong>14,750</strong> fire-safety enforcement checks, issued <strong>2,668</strong> Fire Hazard Abatement Notices (most commonly non-maintenance of firefighting equipment) and <strong>1,209</strong> Notices of Offence (most commonly fire-safety works without approval), and took <strong>82</strong> court actions (<a href="https://www.scdf.gov.sg/docs/default-source/media-room-(publications)/annual-statistics/scdf-annual-statistics-on-ems-fire-enforcement-2025.pdf">SCDF 2025 statistics PDF, accessed Aug 2026</a>).

简介

消防与救护服务

新加坡的消防与救护服务主要由新加坡民防部队(SCDF)提供。SCDF 是内政部属下穿制服的内政团队机构,主要职责包括灭火、救援和紧急医疗服务;处理危险物质事故;以及制定、实施和执行消防安全与民防避难所法规(SCDF 简介,查阅于 2026 年八月)。本文深入介绍灭火行动、紧急救护车和紧急医疗服务分级响应系统,以及《消防安全法》和《消防规范》的监管框架。关于 995 与 999 的日常拨号规则、NurseFirst、短信 70995 以及 1777 的逐步停用,请参阅紧急服务与安全;公共警报系统警笛、SG Alert 和避难所则见民防准备。

灭火与救援行动

SCDF 全天候执行消防和救援任务,响应通过 995 报告的火灾、受困及其他危及生命的事故(SCDF 简介,查阅于 2026 年八月;SCDF 首页,查阅于 2026 年八月)。SCDF 与前新加坡消防局于 1989 年四月 15 日正式合并,将消防与民防整合在同一支部队之下(SCDF 简介,查阅于 2026 年八月)。

SCDF 针对新加坡密集的城市环境开发了紧凑型专用消防设备。SCDF 列举的定制方案包括轻型消防攻击车(Red Rhino)和无人消防机器(UFM),以提升灭火能力(SCDF 简介,查阅于 2026 年八月)。SCDF 的机器人介绍还提到,较小型的**泵式消防机器(PFM)用于轻型工厂和店屋规模的火灾,而Red Rhino 机器人(3R)**则用于及早探测热源,协助消防人员(SCDF 机器人专题,查阅于 2026 年八月)。车队世代详情和部署地图会随时间变化;应将设备名称视为能力类别,而非固定的消防站库存。

在 2025 日历年,SCDF 接报 2,050 起火灾事故,比 2024 年增加 3%;经 SCDF 运送后需住院的火灾伤者有 94 人,归因于烧伤的火灾死亡人数为 6 人(SCDF 2025 年统计新闻,查阅于 2026 年八月;SCDF 2025 年统计 PDF,查阅于 2026 年八月)。住宅火灾升至 1,051 起(+8.6%);非住宅场所火灾升至 471 起(+13.5%);非建筑场所火灾(植被、车辆、露天空间弃置物品)降至 528 起(−13%)(SCDF 2025 年统计 PDF,查阅于 2026 年八月)。住宅场所中,无人看管烹煮(318 起)和电气原因(304 起)仍是最常见的两大起因;主动代步设备(AMD)火灾总数降至 49 起(−26.9%)(SCDF 2025 年统计 PDF,查阅于 2026 年八月)。myResponder 通过社区急救响应者向民众发送轻微火灾警报,作为专业消防队伍之外的一层支援;应用渠道详见紧急服务与安全。危险物质事故处理属于 SCDF 所述主要职责,但与常规住宅灭火并非同一事项(SCDF 简介,查阅于 2026 年八月)。

紧急医疗服务与救护车行动

SCDF 在新加坡运营 24 小时紧急医疗服务(EMS),处理医疗紧急情况(SCDF EMS,查阅于 2026 年八月)。民众可拨打 995 联系 EMS;失聪、听障及言语障碍人士可发送短信至 70995(SCDF EMS,查阅于 2026 年八月)。日常热线礼仪和非紧急替代方式见紧急服务与安全;长期适用的渠道信息见消防救护渠道规则。

紧急医疗服务分级响应框架于 2017 年四月 1 日推出,会按严重程度对每通 995 医疗求助电话进行分诊,并根据病情紧急程度匹配资源规模和响应速度(SCDF EMS,查阅于 2026 年八月)。行动中心专员在 SCDF 护理人员和卫生部护士的协助下对求助电话分类,并可提供到达前建议,例如心肺复苏指示(SCDF EMS,查阅于 2026 年八月)。从 2023 年起,995 行动中心仅在评估为实际紧急情况时才派出救护车(SCDF EMS,查阅于 2026 年八月)。自 2019 年四月起,SCDF 不再将非紧急个案送往医院;有轻微病症的来电者会被建议前往全科诊所、综合诊疗所、紧急护理中心,或在坚持要求救护车接送时拨打 1777 / 联系私人营运商(SCDF EMS,查阅于 2026 年八月)。非紧急转介热线 1777 将于 2027 年一月 1 日停用;此后卫生部指引公众通过 go.gov.sg/pao 联系私人救护车营运商,而 995 紧急救护服务不受影响(卫生部关于停用 1777 的公告,查阅于 2026 年八月)。

SCDF 派遣受训为紧急医疗技术员的消防应急专员(FRS-EMT)乘坐消防摩托车,在救护车前快速抵达;也会派遣消防医疗车(FMV)——一种混合型消防车与救护车——处理某些轻微紧急情况,例如工业事故和交通事故(SCDF EMS,查阅于 2026 年八月)。从 2019 年四月 1 日起,院外心脏骤停个案可由额外 EMT 配合紧急救护车和消防摩托车,接受高性能心肺复苏(SCDF EMS,查阅于 2026 年八月)。患者会被送往按行车时间计算最近、且由卫生部指定的合适医院;SCDF 不接受指定医院的要求,救护车抵达也不保证急诊部优先处理(SCDF EMS,查阅于 2026 年八月)。紧急运送免费;截至查阅时公布的 2026 年八月信息,SCDF 仍运送的每宗非紧急个案收费 S$274,最终是否属于紧急情况由接收个案的急诊部医生判定(SCDF EMS,查阅于 2026 年八月)。

在 2025 年,SCDF 接报 257,158 通 EMS 求助电话(每日 705 通),其中 93.3% 属于紧急求助;65 岁及以上长者占 EMS 求助电话的 49.7%(SCDF 2025 年统计 PDF,查阅于 2026 年八月)。紧急求助中,78.6% 与医疗有关,16.9% 属于创伤,4.5% 属于交通事故(SCDF 2025 年统计 PDF,查阅于 2026 年八月)。2025 年的改进措施包括在公立医院附近推行交通优先系统(最后一段路程的信号优先,通常在启用该系统的路口约 200 米范围内),以及试行动态部署舱,将救护车部署在更靠近需求的地点(SCDF 2025 年统计 PDF,查阅于 2026 年八月)。目的地规则与急症护理网络相关,详见医院。

《消防安全法》下的消防安全监管

除紧急响应外,SCDF 还执行《消防安全法》和《民防避难所法》,为消防安全的住宅和工作场所制定并执行标准(SCDF 消防安全,查阅于 2026 年八月)。《1993 年消防安全法》就消防安全及相关事项作出规定(SSO《1993 年消防安全法》,查阅于 2026 年八月)。《2023 年建筑消防措施实务守则》(2023 年消防规范)是 SCDF 发布的建筑消防安全设施最低标准,涵盖功能、设计、管理、运作和维护,以在火灾发生时保护人员和财产(SCDF 2023 年消防规范 PDF,查阅于 2026 年八月;SCDF 法令、规范与条例,查阅于 2026 年八月)。快速交通系统和公路隧道另有专门规范(SCDF 法令、规范与条例,查阅于 2026 年八月)。

持续合规的一项核心工具是《消防安全法》第 35 条下的消防证书(FC)。指定的公共、工业、外国人宿舍、医院、较高的私人住宅(非 HDB)、工程木结构及机械化停车场建筑,如符合已公布的人员负荷、楼面面积、高度或已安装系统标准,其业主或占用者必须持有有效 FC,确保消防安全系统持续经过测试且可正常运作(SCDF 消防证书,查阅于 2026 年八月)。对于有效期开始日期为 2026 年四月 1 日的 FC,在符合要求时,有效期延长至 36 个月(此前默认期限为 12 个月);业主在非续期年份仍须安排专业工程师检查,并提交年度 FC 表格;三年周期内修订后的费用为住宅每层 S$11,非住宅每层 S$36(SCDF 消防证书,查阅于 2026 年八月;SCDF 三年期 FC 通告,查阅于 2026 年八月)。指定建筑的有效 FC 到期后仍被占用,可能遭检控;FC 页面所述《消防安全(建筑及管道消防安全)条例》框架下的某些违规行为,可被罚款最高 S$10,000、监禁最长 六个月,或两者兼施(SCDF 消防证书,查阅于 2026 年八月)。

在 2025 年,SCDF 进行了 14,750 次消防安全执法检查,发出 2,668 份消防隐患消除通知(最常见原因是未维护灭火设备)和 1,209 份违法通知(最常见原因是未经批准进行消防安全工程),并采取 82 项法庭行动(SCDF 2025 年统计 PDF,查阅于 2026 年八月)。家用**家庭火灾警报器(HFAD)**对新住宅属强制要求;现有住宅若进行消防安全相关的增建与改建(A&A),且计划于 2018 年六月 1 日或之后提交,也须安装。居民相关说明见紧急服务与安全(SCDF HFAD,查阅于 2026 年八月)。避难所结构规则仍属于《民防避难所法》体系,见民防准备,不属于消防证书制度。

关键辨析:区分行动、监管与民防

消防和 EMS 说明的是拨打 995 报告火灾、救援或危及生命的医疗需求时,SCDF 会采取什么行动,以及资源投入后如何运送和分诊。消防安全监管说明的是建筑业主、合格人士(QP)和占用者必须如何设计、认证和维护设施,以降低火灾发生概率并提高火灾中的生存机会。民防准备说明的是公共警报系统(PWS)或 SG Alert 发出更广泛威胁警报时,家庭如何避难和行动——详见民防准备(SCDF 简介,查阅于 2026 年八月)。

常见的信息检索错误包括:把消防证书或消防规范义务当作拨打或不拨打 995 的理由;把 1777 或私人救护车预约当成与紧急 EMS 等同;以为 SCDF 会把患者送往其偏好的医院;以及把 PWS 熟悉警报声误认为火灾求助。实际区分方法是:发生火灾或危及生命的医疗紧急情况时拨打 995;非紧急情况使用 NurseFirst、基层医疗或私人救护车渠道;将 FC / 消防规范合规作为建筑安全责任;按照 PWS 和避难所指示采取民防保护行动(SCDF EMS,查阅于 2026 年八月;卫生部关于停用 1777 的公告,查阅于 2026 年八月;SCDF 消防证书,查阅于 2026 年八月)。
