Think of firefighters and the word ‘hot’ comes to mind. And we’re not just talking about the fires they put out.
Enter Tampines Fire Station — the SCDF unit shares content on social media that’s trendy, funny and comes with a healthy dose of eye candy.
Much like the Singapore Police Force’s TikTok page, the fire station located at Tampines Industrial Ave 3 posts videos of their firefighters taking part in viral trends such as POVs of what it’s like working with them, snappy uniform change edits (subtle thirst traps we’ll call it), and even ‘Get Ready With Me’ vids.
Our personal fav? A clip of the firefighters and medics doing a spot-on lip sync of High School Musical’s ‘A Night To Remember’.
Their social media manager has found the perfect balance of being unserious, humorous and informative at the same time. And we’re all for it.
Netizens are loving their content too, with a number crushing over fireman Ethan James, who has been affectionately dubbed Abang Bomba.
“When your job is to put out the fire but you started the fire,” commented one cheeky netizen, while another suggested that the social media person in charge “open their own creative agency”.
Tampines Fire Station’s social media posts are so popular, even netizens across the Causeway have noticed them.
“Do you put out fires in Malaysia? Asking for myself,” wrote one netizen on a clip featuring Abang Bomba.
Now people of Tampines (#EastSideBestSide?), don’t go calling 995 for no reason okay.
The station hosts Open House visits every Saturday from 9am to 11am, so if you’re hoping to catch a glimpse of these SCDF officers-turn-social-media-superstars, you know where to go.
