In a heart-stopping incident, a homeowner in Singapore found herself faced with a blazing fire in her kitchen, unsure of how to combat the flames.
However, fortune smiled upon her as an unexpected saviour arrived at her doorstep precisely when she needed it the most.
The knight in shining armour who came to the rescue was identified as a courier with J&T Express, who cooly and calmly assessed the situation without panicking.
Interestingly, it was later revealed that the courier had served in the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) during his National Service (NS) days, which likely accounted for his composed demeanour despite the escalating inferno.
An insightful TikTok clip shared by Side Eye News documented the intense moments of the incident. The video commences with a glimpse of the kitchen stove engulfed in flames, sending plumes of fire upwards.
Upon witnessing the alarming sight, the quick-thinking courier promptly sets aside his camera and proceeds to evaluate the situation, inquiring if there was oil on the kitchen counter.
He then improvises a technique to smother the fire by utilizing what appears to be a damp cloth, skillfully aiming to douse the flames.
The initial attempt of the courier yields partial success, as the flames gradually recede. However, this progress is accompanied by the billowing emergence of dark smoke within the kitchen, creating a new challenge.
Undeterred, the courier perseveres and repeats his firefighting approach, swiftly retrieving another moistened cloth. As the concerned homeowner watches helplessly, he resumes his valiant efforts to combat the persistent blaze.
According to reports from STOMP, this incident occurred on May 25.
