A royal death will be held in his honor, according to the SCDF, with the consent of CPT Tay’s home, according to the SCDF.
CPT Tay passed health and proficiency tests and became a timetable commander when he joined SCDF in 2017.
He began working at West Coast Marine Fire Station on December 16, 2023, with a strong desire to concentrate on coastal rescue.
On Thursday, SCDF was alerted to the blaze on board ship Sheng Hang Hua 6 at about 12.15am. Firefighters arrived on the scene at around 1.15 a.m.
Around 3.30am, CPT Tay and another fire were in the smoke-logged website room during the firefighting operation.
CPT Tay maneuvered around the motor area with a thermal imager to find other hot spots while the fire directed the water flight to the source of the fire.
Based on physique- used camera footage, CPT Tay “appeared to face difficulties” at about 3.53am, according to the SCDF.
He was discovered lying at the bottom of a staircase leading to the website room’s lower program at around 4am.
He was found aware but appeared drowsy, and was soon evacuated. He was taken out of the website area on a bed when he lost consciousness, and he was later declared dead.
