Instead of recruiting professional firefighters, they force NSmen who are illequipped and unmotivated for the task

And then put the blame on the superiors. Good luck getting professionals now into your units.

Remember even firefighter got no pension in shithole. Even 3rd world country is better

I came across this older discussion and wanted to add a thought: the remote air tank monitoring rollout in 2024 makes me wonder if SCDF is trying out mixed suppliers before committing long term. Has anyone seen newer tenders or equipment on the ground that might hint where they’re sourcing from now? Curious whether the China link was a one-off trial or part of a bigger shift.

I’ve been using the FYREBX FUELBX on rough job sites, and it cut down a lot of wasted time since I can fuel equipment right where it’s parked. The electric pump and hose reel make it quick, and the steel build holds up well. If you’re tired of hauling fuel cans around or waiting on trucks, it’s been a solid upgrade for me.
