The spirit of dedication shown by firefighters is highly admired by the people, especially during Ramadan when they must respond to emergencies even before having their meals. A woman on TikTok uploaded a video showing the busy life of firefighters during Ramadan, who received a fire alarm just as they were about to breakfast.

When the fire truck alarm sounded, several firefighters immediately left their seats and rushed to respond to the disaster. The video resonated with many public servants, with one commenter stating, Doctors are the same way; sometimes we are so busy that we can only eat dinner at 9 p.m.
Another commenter, a navy officer, mentioned that they too can relate as they work day and night on missions, and we go from Ramadan to Raya without even realising it, sometimes having to celebrate Raya while at sea.
Some netizens expressed that firefighters are among the frontliners respected by the public.
