the heroes.. firemen
As i am residing in Bt batok if you have not already know.. yes.. the place where there was massive bush fire on the hill top....
i am really touched by the fire fighters when i saw them this morning, their clothes stained with mud, their faces were lethargic.. it is a sign of how hard they have worked OVERNIGHT...
ok, a brief if you dont follow up with news/ or Stomp for that matter, bt batok is a hill region and 2 days ago, there is a hilltop which caught fire....
it is near a place where i will pass by everyday when i take my feeder bus. 2 nights ago at about 10pm, there was a traffic jam. traffic jam rarely happen in that area... all the vehicles were moving in a snail pace... when i was nearer.. then i know why....
there were water hoses on the road... they had gotten the water outlet from across the road... hence vehicles have to travel real slow and carefully so that they dont burst the waterhose.. every1 do their part...we all drive carefully over the hose to prevent any damages which will hinder the fire fighting.
Yesterday morning, the roads were cleared. I was glad that the fire is out.
However yesterday nite, the fire fighters were there again.. with more water hoses around this time. Inevidently, there was a jam... I was quite worried.. fire again???? gosh.. what is happening! I really hope they will put out the fire soon....
This morning, there was traffic jam again. the firefighters were packing the stuff...i guess they had just finished fighting.. they all looked so worn and battled and were sitting around to have a rest. I was really touched by their efforts... they fought overnight... up the dark dark hill... i saw ladder up the slope.. they must have climbed up the hill to fight the fire from another angle.. i guess thats more of preventing the fire from spreading to this area.
I really have the urge to stand up and salute to the firemen, but im afraid people will stare at me! they really deserve some credits for their efforts...
I hope they will receive some kind of awards/rewards for fighting.. this is no lean tasks... i am really proud and glad that these group of people are here to protect us!
Civil Defence, I Salute YOU!!!!
