This is the organisational flag of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).

A new uniformed youth organisation, the National Civil Defence Cadet Corps (NCDCC), has been established in Singapore as of this year. Their website (http://www.scdf.gov.sg/ncdcc/about.html#flag) details their organisational flag and badge, both of which resembles closely that of the parent organisation, the Singapore Civil Defence Force. I have yet to see the use of the flag in person though.
There are also flags for the other national cadet corps in Singapore as
presented on my website, for the National Cadet Corps (NCC) and its three
components; NCC Land, NCC Sea & NCC Air, and that of the National Police Cadet
Corps (NPCC).

Singapore today has a civil defence force rather than the usual fire
service-styled organisation for its civil protection services. No fire brigades
exist as a separate entity. The concept of civil defence in Singapore does
include fire fighting so I think this would be related. Here is a summary of the
vexillological practice of the
Singapore Civil Defence Force:
The Singapore Civil Defence Force is organised into Divisions with Headquarters,
two training establishments, fire stations, two full-time formations, and many
other reservist units. All of these units with the exception of reservist units
have a unit flag and a ceremonial flag. The ceremonial flag and general-use unit
flag are similar in design with the former featuring the addition of fringes.
Overall where design is concerned, the flags have plain coloured fields and the
unit logo on them. Civil Defence Divisions have assigned colours (1st: yellow,
2nd: blue, 3rd: green, and 4th: red) and division headquarters and its assigned
fire stations use these colours in common on their flags.
Three flags are flown at the premises of this unit, the national flag, the
orange SCDF service flag, followed by the respective unit flag. Exceptions do
exist for multi- services and multi-units premises though these are in the
minority of cases. They do make an interesting case however. Headquarters 1st
Civil Defence Division, Alexandra Fire Station, and the Singapore Police Force's
Queenstown Neighbourhood Police Centre are co-located at the same premises. Four
flags are flown at the main flagpoles area: the national flag, the civil defence
service flag, the police service flag, and HQ 1st Civil Defence Division's unit
flag in that order.
