PM Lee updated on
SCDFs latest developments
SINGAPORE: Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong visited the Singapore
Civil Defence Force (SCDF) Academy on Tuesday afternoon.
He was updated on the latest developments and operational
capabilities of the Singapore Civil Defence Force.
Among the state-of-the-art facilities is a specialised vehicle that
is aptly named Station With Immediate First Aid Treatment
(SWIFT).
It takes just two men to set up the station and severely injured
casualties can be treated within five minutes.
Mr Lee was also briefed on SCDFs overseas rescue and humanitarian
missions following natural disasters.
More than 40,000 people from Singapore and overseas were trained at
the SCDF Academy last year. CNA/so
