Sjourn · 22nd February 2005

Another bush fire today...

1. The fire grew bigger after this shot ..

2. Strong winds helped fan the fire...see the lallangs

3. Our brave SCDF evaluating the problem..

4. chk out the background heat..

5. Uphill task as fire trucks could not get in...only using the small fire truck to channel water from the main road

Punggol seems to be vulnerable

This is the tip of the iceberg. There are already 4 major patches of greenary already destroyed by the fires. Now that's really sad!

*sob*

i wonder how bad the bush fire in neighbouring country, from looks of it, we might need to do another photoaid

photoaid for the bush fire victims... (donate water to water the plants...)

think the authorities should try to do something, like get fireman to water the plants regularly...

Well, prevention is better than cure.

That's what I learnt from the firemen in primary school...

I support the watering of plants...

Del_CtrlnoAlt · 22nd February 2005

btw isn't the total defense competition still on? try to get authorites to send fireman / SCDF to water plants, Army to supervise... Airforce to radio signal, navy to supply water... hehehehee
