” This incident and the police’s studies will undoubtedly damage SCDFs’ good name, reputation, and position. The SCDF has rarely lost anyone in a fire activity before this incident, so it is especially painful ,” Mr. Yap said in an email sent to allSCDF personnel.
But we won’t back down from the studies. We accept accountability for this and may make amends.
As we start the difficult task of regaining the public’s trust and confidence as well as that of the people who entrust their children to the SCDF to assist their National Service, I humbly ask for your help.
SCDF AUDIT Studies
According to SCDF, an internal evaluation party was called up after the incident to perform an after-action review.
Nevertheless, the review concluded that our firefighters are consistently taught SCDF’s fire doctrine, and its tenets are well-established locally.
However, it suggested, among other things, that SCDF take action to carefully consider the selection and training of our earth officers.
This entails increasing the reliance on command duty and testing the participants’ capacity for command and control. We’ve already done that.
More than 260 firefighting operations between January 2021 and December 2022 — during which at least one water jet was used to fight fires— were audited as part of the review. Additionally, it examined 61 of these activities, which required more than two waterjets for fire.
According to SCDF,” The audit found that the operations had been carried out professionally and comfortably, though there were sporadic individual lapses, never unusual in a powerful situation like the firefighting operation.”
SCDF has implemented additional measures to improve surface safety at fire incidents in order to lessen such instances of” individual failures.” & nbsp,
The SCDF & nbsp has established a staging and breathing apparatus control officer control point since September 18 for smaller fires like those that start in residential units.
This will help keep an eye on where the firefighters are stationed and check their private safety gear before they arrive at the fireplace.
As part of the SCDF’s fire philosophy, this is already being done for bigger, more complicated fires.
It stated that the SCDF” is firmly committed to ensuring the protection of our soldiers as they carry out their duties to save lives and property.” & nbsp,
