SINGAPORE – An 81-year-old woman came to her neighbours’ rescue and helped them put out a fire in their Housing Board flat on Aug 9, even though she was scared of the raging flames.
For her bravery, Madam Lim Ee Chin received the Community First Responder Award on Aug 27, the SCDF said in a Facebook post on Thursday (Sept 10).
The award is presented to members of the public who have stepped forward to render assistance to others in distress or to save property or both.
“Despite her age, she did not hesitate to help put out the fire. Her selfless act has assisted to mitigate the damages and injuries caused by the fire,” said SCDF.
The fire Madam Lim helped extinguished had broken out at a corner residential unit of Block 917 Jurong West Street 91 at 11.20pm on Aug 9.
