\nExpected to be completed by mid-2020, the five-storey facility will house a new fire station and a neighbourhood police centre.
\nIn a bid to provide faster responses to emergencies in the rapidly developing town of Punggol, the authorities started the construction of the area\u2019s first fire station on Monday (11 Mar), reported the New Paper.
\nAccording to Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Home Affairs and National Development, Sun Xueling, having a nearby fire station in the town is important due to the area\u2019s rapid development, especially after the government announced its plans to establish the 50ha Punggol Digital District.

\nThe building will feature eight fire engine bays, two firefighter slides and a 25m training maze. As for its second level, which will be used for community engagement events, it will come with a training room, rooftop garden and multi-purpose hall.
