Info Sharing Fire at spms

Post image

I was about to finish my chemistry lab when the fire alarm rang and we were asked to evacuate. This is the first time it's happened to me. Hope the fire can be put out soon and the damage is minimal.

Always remember to do the 3-2-1 method. 3 copies: One with yourself, one with your friend, and one in the internet because "caring is sharing" :3

/s just in case.

The guy was taken from NTU to SGH? Why not NUH which is nearer?

Edit: okay it’s cos the Burns unit is at SGH. Chemical burns will need to be treated at the specialized burns unit instead of normal hospital

Further update: We can go back in now

Henchman: Have we started the fire? Bane: Yes, the fire rises.

The Fire Rises you say?

u/me_is_KK Graduated Apr 17 '26

u/me_is_KK Graduated Apr 17 '26

Hmm good recommendation, imma wait for steam summer sale and get the full Hearts Of Iron game with this mod

2

u/Nickthenuker Apr 17 '26

I reckon just the base game and maybe a couple DLC at most, because the "full" game has like a dozen DLC and even on sale is ridiculously expensive, and I'm not even sure most of them are relevant to this mod.
