Unless you’ve sworn off social media, you’d know that SCDF plays the social media game perfectly.
Well, maybe you’d like to know that offline, they’re doing their job perfectly, too.
Bukit Batok HDB Fire Led to High-Risk Rescue Mission
Early this morning (1 November 2019) at 4:31 a.m., as you dreamed of yourself as Jack Ma and threw stacks of $100 at your boss, three people from Bukit Batok St 21 were trapped in their HDB flat.

Fire was raging in their unit, and it was so bad that two of them, a man in his 60s and another man in his 30s, escaped out of the flat…and not through the main door.
But out of the window on the 13th floor, standing on the ledge.
Yeah, one wrong step and they would fall 13 storeys down.
The SCDF then showed that they’re not just heroes online; according to a Facebook post, they conduct a “forced entry” into the flat and firstly rescued a woman in her 60s from the toilet.
But the firefighters could not reach the two men who were on the ledge, as a number of items were blocking their way in.
So the elite team, SCDF’s Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART), came.
To understand how cool they are, just take a look at this video:
Firstly, SCDF deployed a powderful “ladder” that works like a lift. The heroes without capes in the unit secured the two men with ropes while a DART officer rappelled from the unit above to bring the two men into the ladder’s rescue cage.

I totally feel like I’m describing movie.
If you can’t visualise this heroic act, here’s a video that speaks a million words:
Told you it’s like a movie liao.
The three people were sent to Singapore General Hospital for burn injuries and smoke inhalation.
The cause of the fire is unknown, and let’s just hope that it’s not related to PMD.

Because we cannot handle so many of these movies.
