A fire broke out in a an eight-floor flat undergoing renovation works at a HDB block in Yishun on Saturday (Oct 31) evening, and the firefighters’ heroic actions won the heart of a young boy standing in the vicinity.<\/p>\n
The incident happened at about 6.15pm at Block 757 Yishun Street 72.<\/p>\n
Residents in the precinct told AsiaOne that smoke was seen coming out from kitchen’s and bathroom’s windows.<\/p>\n
At least one fire engine, a combined platform ladder used for high-rise aerial firefighting, one light fire attack vehicle (LFAV) and an ambulance were present at the scene.<\/p>\n
Responding to AsiaOne’s queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said the fire involved items in a common bathroom of the kitchen.<\/p>\n
“SCDF conducted forcible entry into the unit and extinguished the fire using a water jet,” it added.<\/p>\n
As firefighters were packing up after firefighting operations, a boy was seen interacting with a firefighter next to the LFAV.<\/p>\n
He was accompanied by his parents, spending some moments to look at the firefighting appliances.<\/p>\n
As they were leaving, encouraged by who appears to be his father, the boy snapped into a salute before waving goodbye, with the firefighter waving back.<\/p>\n
A simple heartwarming gesture, but a timely reminder of who we can be for others.<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported in the fire incident, investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
