As much as we'd like to stay as far away as possible from lifting content from Reddit (yes, we read your comments), this post by /u/toothyfalcon is a way too useful resource for us not to share.

Rather, it's inspired by the puzzling lack of public awareness about the capabilities and the job scope of firefighting and rescue personnel — Jack Neo isn't exactly putting out Ah Boys to Firemen anyway.
