Time to give the Home Team another pay raise.

Because there's a part to play for everyone in Total Defence, and readiness is your only protection.

This should be filmed and sent to America's funniest home videos or the modern equivalent

there are areas specifically stated for these fire engines, so it's a soft landing - altho not a happy one

It should be the fault of the building owner / developer. In the Fire Code 2013, it is stated,

"Accessway shall be metalled or paved or laid with strengthened perforated slabs to withstand the loading capacity of stationary 30 tonnes fire-fighting appliance...."

They may need to pay SCDF for the damage to the engine.

Mapletree vs SCDF: left hand vs right hand.

Not surprised lah. So many tunnels being dug in Spore & some contractors are bound to make "an honest mistake" in cutting corners.

FIRE ENGINE FALLS INTO PAVEMENT AND GETS STUCK AT VIVOCITY. Contractor Cut Corner?

Post date:

An SCDF Fire engine sunk into the pavement at the courtyard of Vivocity this evening after a fire safety inspection.

The area where the fire engine fell was just outside Tangs. The pavement tiles had cracked and the rear wheels of the fire engine got stuck.

The incident happened shortly after 6pm and it is understood that the vehicle is still stuck.

The area was barricaded off at about 6:45pm and by 7:20, another tow truck had come to the area.

Water from the fire engine was also being drained to make it lighter so that it could be towed out.

SCDF explained that they are working with contractors to remove the vehicle safely. They are also working with the mall management to work out how the incident occurred.
The four people who were in the vehicle when it fell into the pavement were uninjured:

What was the fire engine doing there in the first place?

 

[Seee3]

don't see why.....there are areas marked "fire engine hard standing" that are designed specifically for these vehicles.

I think the engine was there for a routine exercise/ familiarization tour. As such, it should be using the marked access route which was hardened to withstand the weight of the engine. However, as what Johnny had mentioned, too much tunneling has caused the earth below the slabs to sink, causing a hollow.
