Ysc3 Twincharged January 27, 2015 Share January 27, 2015 I heard that when SCDF responds to an emergency they will bill you for the services rendered .... is that true ? last month, my mother forgot to off the stove and went out ... passer by saw black smoke from my kitchen window and called SCDF. they came and cut my gate and kicked my door in ... but luckily all that was burnt was the pot ! so will they bill me for the "services" rendered ? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kangadrool Supersonic January 27, 2015 Share January 27, 2015 Nothing is free. Even for emergency medical evacuation onboard vessel at sea, it's not free. RSAF will charge you 5-figure helicopter fee. Just hope they don't bill you. I believe there are still some exceptions which they don't bill or can't bill (e.g. forest fires etc).

Philipkee Twincharged January 27, 2015 Share January 27, 2015 (edited) From what I know, they will not bill you UNLESS it is a non emergency. But on the ground, what is emergency and non emergency? To a trained professional it is not an emergency but to a layman, it is. Thus, from experience, no charges were ever imposed unless u damage their property wilfully. In TS situation, not sure but if no public property damaged, shouldn't charge. But any damage to gate and such, non claimable la. But if u get fined for causing hazard by HDB or something then its another story. Just no billing from scdf side.

Ender Hypersonic January 27, 2015 Share January 27, 2015 This one is negligence on your mom part. Thanks to alert neighbor and fast response SCDF that disaster was prevented. Be thankful to the SCDF, even if they charge, it's only reasonable. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
