21 February 2024

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) responded to 246,832 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) calls in 2023. This was a 3.9% decrease compared to 2022, when there was a spike in EMS demand due to the multiple waves of COVID-19 variants. However, overall EMS demand in 2023 remained high, with an average of 676 EMS calls daily, which was 30% higher than in 2019 (pre-pandemic).

 

The overall number of fires increased by 8.6% to 1,954 cases in 2023. While the number of fires at non-residential  remises fell by 6.9%, the number of fires at residential and non-building premises rose by 3.7% and 34.9% respectively.
Fires involving Active Mobility Devices (AMDs) increased by 31% compared to 2022.
