Yet another Singapore flat fire - 35 people evacuated at Jalan Bukit Merah

The Singapore Civil Defence Force said in a Facebook post it was alerted to the fire at 11.35am that day.

"SCDF firefighters wearing breathing apparatus sets had to conduct forcible entry to gain access into the unit. No one was in the unit,"SCDF said in the post.About 35 people were evacuated from neighbouring units as a precaution, said SCDF.It added that preliminary investigations indicate that the fire had an"electrical origin".A photo attached to SCDF's post showed a bed frame, charred debris on the floor, and soot lining the walls and ceiling of a room in the unit.

Residents' Committee members also chipped in with a new mattress and bedding, food and various other items, said Indranee, who met the members just after they brought the items to the new unit.NTUC vouchers were provided by a donor as well, for the family to buy food and other necessaries lost in the fire.
