In Safe Hands, a new drama about our "guardian stars" in the firefighting and emergency medical services, will premiere on Channel 8 on 7 March at 7.30pm. It will also begin streaming on MeWatch on the same day.

Made in collaboration with the Singapore Civil Defence Force, the series provides an inside look at how firefighters and paramedics operate, as well as how the public can work with emergency responders.

Romeo Tan said, "Through this series, you'll realise that SCDF has very high-tech and advanced equipment. We know that SCDF puts out fires, but viewers can learn about the many other things that they do."

Denise Camillia Tan said, "We often hear the sirens of firefighters or the ambulance when we're on the streets or even at home, but we don't get to see where they go and what they do. Through this drama, I hope viewers can learn more about the work of emergency responders."
