SINGAPORE : Building friendly ties among fire fighters and
rescue teams in the region was the objective of the 16th Civil
Defence Skills Competition on Friday.
Personnel from Singapore were joined by teams from
Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Macau, Hong Kong, Brunei and the
Philippines.
Together, they enthralled the audience with a display of
skills, teamwork and strategy under simulated crisis
scenarios.
But it was not all about showing off skills. The friendly
competition also provided a platform for officers to get to know
one another.
As part of the event, elite rescue teams from the region
also had a chance to share training methods and information about
specialised equipment.
