From playing floorball to putting out fires, twin brothers SGT1 Irfan Iskandar Bin Abu Hasrin (left) and SGT1 Arfan Andreanee Bin Abu Hasrin have done almost everything together. Now serving in the SCDF, they\u2019ve brought their lifelong bond to the frontlines \u2014 supporting each other through training, deployments and operational duties.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Growing up, twin brothers SGT1 Irfan and SGT1 Arfan \u2014 born just one minute apart \u2014 were practically inseparable. They attended the same schools, joined the same co-curricular activities and bonded over a shared passion for tennis and floorball. This close bond continued into their National Service when they enlisted in the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) at the same time.<\/p>

Their journey began with Basic Rescue Training (BRT) at the Civil Defence Academy. But just a week in, their paths diverged. Irfan set his sights on becoming a Section Commander, while Arfan underwent the Firefighter Course. Still, that brief overlap in training was memorable. \u201cIt was funny when instructors or trainees mistook one of us for the other,\u201d Arfan recalls with a laugh.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The brothers are also each other\u2019s training buddy, maintaining their fitness routines together. \u201cWe gym and train together, just like we always have,\u201d says Irfan, noting that transitioning into uniformed life was the biggest adjustment to adapt to. \u201cThe main challenge was learning to be independent, and to take responsibility for ourselves and our gear,\u201d he adds.<\/p>

Arfan agrees, chiming in: \u201cPhysical training was tough, but we constantly encouraged each other to do better. That drive kept us going, and as we progressed through our training, we grew more confident and emerged stronger, both physically and mentally.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After graduating from the Firefighter Course in October 2023, Arfan was posted to Changi Fire Station with Rota 1. Two months later, Irfan completed his Section Commander Course and joined Rota 2 at the same fire station.<\/p>

\u201cWe really didn\u2019t expect to be posted to the same fire station,\u201d Arfan shares. Irfan adds: \u201cInitially, I hoped that we would be assigned to the same Rota. But in hindsight, this arrangement is better as we get to respond to different emergencies and learn from each other\u2019s experiences.\u201d<\/p>

While their roles differ, their camaraderie hasn\u2019t wavered. As a Section Commander, Irfan leads a team of four firefighters, while Arfan focuses on executing his assigned tasks during each incident. \u201cUnderstanding each other\u2019s roles and perspectives at the fireground has helped us appreciate the challenges faced by the other,\u201d said Arfan, who often seeks leadership advice from his brother.<\/p>

For Irfan, Arfan\u2019s perspective has been eye-opening. \u201cI\u2019d ask him about situations he\u2019s encountered on the ground, especially during complex operations, because it helps me lead more effectively and coordinate better with my team,\u201d he explains. \u201cAs a Section Commander, I have to assess situations and be decisive while prioritising the safety of my team. As my brother is a firefighter, understanding things from his perspective helps me to be more aware of my team\u2019s concerns and expectations.\u201d<\/p>

This mutual respect and openness have helped them ease into their respective roles. \u201cAs frontliners, we must uphold high standards to save lives ,\u201d says Arfan. \u201cWith the leadership advice and encouragement from my brother,\u00a0I can better support my commanders and colleagues.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Outside of work, Irfan (first from right) and Arfan (third from right) bond over sports, such as cross-country runs.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Since joining Changi Fire Station, both brothers have grown in skill and confidence through real-world experience and consistent training. They also credit their personal growth to the people around them. \u201cWe greatly appreciate the guidance and encouragement from our supervisors and fellow NSFs. They\u2019ve made our NS experience fun and rewarding,\u201d says Irfan with a smile.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One particularly memorable moment in their NS journey happened when both brothers responded to the same fire in Loyang \u2014 even though they were on separate shifts.<\/p>

Less than an hour before the end of their shift, Irfan\u2019s Rota was midway through a high-rise fire drill when an emergency call came in. \u201cWe quickly mobilised, established the water supply and set up water jets to contain the fire,\u201d he recalls. \u201cAs it was a prolonged operation, our shift ended and the next Rota took over.\u201d<\/p>

Among those who relieved the firefighters on-site was his brother Arfan. \u201cWe had a brief exchange at the fireground before my Rota took over. We continued the operation until the fire was completely extinguished,\u201d Arfan adds.<\/p>

This incident was just one of many experiences at Changi Fire Station that brought the brothers closer and deepened their admiration for each other.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

For Irfan (left) and Arfan, the most rewarding part of their NS in SCDF is making a difference in people\u2019s lives, and being able to share this journey together makes it even more meaningful.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cI\u2019ve admired my brother\u2019s leadership skills since we were young,\u201d shares Arfan. \u201cHe steps up, even when things get tough. Although he does make mistakes sometimes, he learns and grows from these experiences.\u201d It\u2019s a quality he now strives to adopt in his own journey \u2014 learning what it means to lead and care for others in a team.<\/p>

Irfan, in turn, praised Arfan\u2019s grit. \u201cMy brother has an incredible ability to overcome adversity. Even if he struggles at first, he never gives up. I remember a fire incident which he responded to at midnight. He was part of the Red Rhino crew that managed to contain the fire before the fire engine arrived. I\u2019m proud of the confident, capable firefighter he has become,\u201d he says. Seeing his brother\u2019s perseverance firsthand is something Irfan hopes to take with him beyond NS \u2014 especially when facing future challenges.<\/p>

Now in the final month of their NS stint, both brothers agree that it has been a meaningful chapter in their lives \u2014 one filled with challenges, growth and purpose. \u201cFrom attending the same primary school to serving the nation together in the SCDF, it has been an incredible journey,\u201d Arfan reflects.<\/p>

Irfan echoes the sentiment: \u201cBeing a part of the SCDF is truly fulfilling. When we respond to a call and help someone in their hour of need, it directly impacts their lives in a meaningful way. Doing it alongside my twin brother makes it even more special.\u201d
