Ahmad Royyaan Bin Mohamed Redha

As a Fire & Rescue Specialist with the Singapore Civil Defence Force, I completed 22 weeks of intensive training in emergency response, safety procedures, and technical operations before being posted to Tampines Fire Station. In this role, I commanded a crew of 2–4 firefighters as Vehicle Commander of a Pump Ladder, leading real-life responses to fires, rescues, and medical emergencies where lives and property were at stake. I was responsible for ensuring crew safety while making rapid, high-stakes decisions and applying strong risk assessment skills to evolving situations. Serving as the communications link between ground operations and the Ops Centre via the Mobile Communication Network (MCN), I relayed critical information and coordinated tactical responses under pressure. In addition, I maintained technical proficiency with specialized equipment and conducted both scheduled and unscheduled fire safety inspections in collaboration with private companies. This experience developed my leadership, discipline, precise communication, and ability to perform effectively in demanding environments.

During polytechnic, I worked my first job at age 16 as a crew member at 4Fingers Crispy Chicken. I worked in a fast-paced environment taking and preparing customer orders, handling cash transactions, and operating the point-of-sale system. I also worked in the kitchen, preparing food and frying items while maintaining cleanliness and following food safety standards. Together with my team, I ensured smooth and efficient daily operations.
