But that’s not all. As Internet users would surely attest to, SCDF has come to be known for something rather different altogether:

Its ingenious social media team.

Building on viral trends with impeccable meaning-filled memes, the SCDF social media team has slowly but surely cultivated a reputation as one of the best in the business.

Like damn, you’re on fire SCDF! (Non-literally)

And it seems that they’ve done it again.

Running Transformation Videos

If you’ve been following TikTok recently, you might have noticed a viral trend of late, in which a group of people will usually hang out in civilian clothes, chit-chatting and all.

All of a sudden, they’ll feel compelled (by the director perhaps) to start dashing forward, and the camera loses focus of them as it shifts behind some sort of stationary obstruction.

Once it’s back in focus, however, the same group of characters will be out again, but this time they aren’t garbed in their civilian attire…

But the outfits their respective uniformed duties require.

Here, take a look at the video down below to see what I’m rambling on about!

Slick, isn’t it? Well…

Wait till you see SCDF’s version.

Our favourite fire-fighters break out the guns

In their own rendition, our SCDF fire-fighters chose to employ the same start as the other viral videos: walking, chatting and generally playing it up for the camera.

Once the camera goes past, however, these fire-fighters, true to their profession, make it a little more action-oriented.

Here, check out the video to see what I’m talking about:
