Pomodoro‑Pup Rescue: 19 Tiny Heroes Saved from the Fire
When the scent of roasted popcorn fever made its way through Upper Thomson Road at 1.15 am, the fire brigade raced to Door 197—Home of Wellfond Pets. What they found was not a blaze but an eager crowd of puppies, bouncing out in boxes, gosling‑like and covered in soot.
Heroes on the Scene
- SCDF firefighters broke the door wide open and put the flame in a single water jet, cutting the fight short.
- Local passers‑by, acting as instant “puppy‑palms,” held and so‑soot the animals while the crew doused the fire.
- A stunned crowd later gathered, some shouting for water and offering the pups a quick splash.
What Went Wrong?
The investigation points to a dehumidifier gone rogue. The little pups survived, with no one injured or even a single paw put out of commission. Burn scars? Trotted away.
Nice Round‑Off
After all the chaos, firefighters counted 19 rescued puppies and even caught the one that tried a daring escape. Thanks, on‑lookers, for keeping the spirits high and the pups flush with relief.
