The façade of the fire station has not changed much and looks just like it did when the station was built in 1956. This was the 4th fire station built in Singapore, after the Central Fire Station at Hill Street and the ones in Geylang and Alexandra. It can house two Fire Pumpers, two Fire Bikes, two Ambulances and a Light Fire Attack Vehicle. The Bukit Timah Fire Station closed in April 2005 and there are currently plans by the Urban Redevelopment Authority for the conservation of this site. Meanwhile, its operations have moved to new premises at 80 Bukit Batok Road.
