Very grateful for the fast response of SCDF. Dislocated my shoulder sometime last year before going to bed and was immobilized on the bed in agony. The pain was excruciating even with the slightest movement. The team came and provided care professionally. I felt calmer knowing I was in good hands. The team came in with their shoes on and I'm totally fine as prioritizing care with speed for the person in distress is even more crucial than taking the time to take off your shoes. This is a good SOP if it is. Floor can be cleaned afterwards but lives need to be saved. With the excruciating pain, I wish the ambulance can clear the road asap with their sirens on as every vibrations causing by the drive is really painful and I need to reach the Hospital asap. The driver even calmed me down saying that we're reaching soon and he's doing his best. We'll be moving out of Singapore soon and will definitely miss the efficient Emergency Services for sure. Thank you once again for the swift response and keep doing what you do! Salute!

Although we know we shouldn’t be calling 995 unnecessarily, thus hubby cut off call after one ring but SCDF called back 😱. Today 17/5/22 Tuesday around 10am +-, we had to use ambulance reluctantly due to my mobility and health conditions of hubby. From the time the 4 SCDF personnel came to residential house till the time they left me in Raffles Hospital, the 3 men & 1 lady were so gentle, sincerely concern and understanding. The way they treated me was like I was their relative and they are not even Chinese. ❤️ They were that compassionate. When the ambulance made a right turn on the road, one of them even made sure my injured leg didn’t knock against the sides. And also the gentle touch to assure me that everything would be ok. Thank u all so so much. Blessings to them and all in SCDF.

Tuesday night ard 11:30pm . I was talk with a Friend at the void deck of Blk 411 Pandan Garden. Suddenly there came some foul smell. We walk out towards where the smell came from and realised that one 10 footer truck which was packed at the roadside has smoke coming out behind the Driver's cabin. The smoke gets more and more. I quickly went over to check if the driver is still in the vehicle because it's engine is still running. To my astonishment he was there. I'm very scared because I'm worried it might explode! I quickly pat at the window and calling "Abang Abang " I signal him to come out but he seems dead. At that time, I have already made a call to 995. I was so panic and I think the person over the phone can hear me saying, "I think he is dead! " . I continued to pat on the window ( Praise the Lord it's half way down ) and calling him again and again. All of the sudden, he moved. I quickly signal him to come out, but he looked at me motionless. It's really insane as I could see that the smoke is building up. I quickly walk nearer and tell him "got smoke , got smoke get out!" . Than maybe he sense something and turn of the engine. Phew! I was a little relief, from that I could see that the smoke gradually gets lesser and lesser. So I told the person on the line, " I'm sorry , there is no fire, so maybe you dun have to come." But this person was so concern about the driver if he had inhale poisonous gas. So he said they are on the way. And you know what, just after this conversation . A police patrol car came very swiftly ! And next follow by a huge fire engine came and with a rhinoceros (SCDF), and after 3 minutes an ambulance arrived at the scene. You know guys, my Friend next to me , who is from Malaysia praise our Singapore government and the SCDF, he said he was amaze by their efficiency and proficiency shown. Therefore guys . I salute you and thank you for serving the people selflessly. I'm so proud of you all as a Singaporean . You deserve 5 Stars!!
