SCDF is still short of a helicopter ambulance. In a highway road accident or other disaster situation where usual access is not possible. SCDF cannot be hampered in reaching the victim when life and death is only a minute difference. And, the SCDF helicopter can also be used in rooftop, sinking ship etc evacuation operation. In the event of a forest fire, it can fight fire from the sky or used as command post. SCDF should put into consideration this very useful asset.

[@fidelcatsro6948]

Okay thats all good but where is our firefighting helicopter? we need water scooping helicopters that can fly at 150km per hour to the destination and scoop water direct from the sea!

[@philipchan79]

Singapore helicopters use for firefighting are the Chinook CH-47Fs .

YACHT PARTYYY 🤪🤪🤩🤩🥳🥳🤘🤘

[@ChinRubbingVideos]

first fire fighting vessel to have dynamic positioning system in the world, because it is an unnecessary technology for a fire fighting vessel. you can move the water canons about, so why waste money on a dynamic positioning system?

[@mikotokoro9136]

more people able to focus on fighting the fire instead. the more hands, the better

[@isassetuba]

300 people can fit on it.... Sorry by most vessels on sea take at least 500 people

[@breadiztasty]

These are small ships, not large ones, you still need to take into consideration about their equipment

[@engchoontan8483]

Need a few rubbish-water-sewage sea-state(?) take-off-and-landing bombers.? Throw-bomb low-blast explosive-dirt-granules for flame-up and air blow-out and dust throw-off and suck water from water-canons in (auto sucker aiming by blasted)

[@engchoontan8483]

Latent-heat evaporative Reheat plastic-oil granules To below auto-combustion.? Instead of airport foaming... dino the dino, solid-oil to liquid-oil to solid-oil.? Ask oil-and-gas to make-formula from plastic production wastes...

Super cool!!
