His wife was at work when the fire occurred.The security guard, 35, told The Straits Times on Friday that when he got to the second floor, the corridor was filled with smoke and many residents were evacuating."That was when I heard crying from inside the burning flat.
"Thankfully when I went back to the burning flat, the children were already rescued by police officers. So I quickly evacuated too," he said. Two police officers rescued the two toddlers, who were alone at home, before SCDF officers arrived. They were found conscious in the living room.Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC MP Zaqy Mohamad said on Thursday that the toddlers had suffered smoke inhalation but were in stable condition.SCDF is investigating the cause of the fire.
One of them was Sebastian Ng, 26, who lives with his wife and children next to the unit that caught fire. He had initially thought there was a problem with his air-conditioning system when there was a strong smell in his flat. "Actually I was not thinking much about myself then. I guess I thought if anything happened, at least I could run away," said Ng when asked if he was scared.
