Heroic Sinkie Family Pauses Holiday To Battle Stinking Trash Fire

A Pasir Ris family has been hailed as local heroes for doing the SCDF’s job while dressed in their festive finest.

The men reportedly spotted a rubbish chute fire and decided that "saving the block" was a more productive use of their time than actually enjoying their rare day off.

Armed with fire extinguishers and a desperate need for social media clout, they doused the flames before the real firefighters could even finish their first serving of curry.

"I saw the smoke and my first instinct was 'Sian, if this block burn down, where I going to hide from my wife?'" explained one volunteer while refreshing his Instagram comments.

"The smoke was so thick I thought the neighbours were finally burning the evidence of their illegal vape habit, so I went to kaypoh," another witness added, "it was fucking scary, bro."

The SCDF arrived later to find the situation resolved, effectively thanking the family for performing free manual labour on a public holiday.

The rest of the residents expressed relief that the block’s scent had returned to its standard bouquet of stale urine and corridor dampness.
