He was delivering a parcel to a flat in Punggol when he discovered a kitchen fire in the very same home. Thankfully for the homeowner, delivery man Aliff Anugerah served in the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) during his National Service term. And he knew just...
Aliff entered the kitchen and used his knowledge from his time in SCDF.
“First, I put a wet towel on the stove. Then, I poured water on the stove, which extinguished the fire,” he said, adding that the fire was put out in about five minutes. SCDF later confirmed that a pot had caught fire, and a member of the public had used a wet hand towel to extinguish it.A J&T Express spokesman commended Aliff for reacting quickly to the situation, and preventing anyone from being harmed.
For his bravery and outstanding service, the company said it plans to award Aliff with a gift of appreciation. “This is to express our gratitude... He has also set a great example for our employees, and we are privileged to have him in our team,” said the spokesman.
