SINGAPORE - A single mum and her three children will not be able to return home for a few months after a fire ripped through their flat, but the help they are receiving from people hearing of their plight is easing their pain.

But help from the authorities, the town council and her local Residents' Committee will allow the family of four to move into a one-room rental flat in Jalan Kayu on Tuesday, where they will stay for the next few months. The circuit breaker measures mean non-essential construction or repair work is not allowed, but Madam Tanti said the authorities and her insurers are trying to work out how she can get her 10th-floor flat cleaned and restored as soon as possible.

"I heard my brother shout 'Fire!' and I peeked my head out of the toilet, and that's when I saw this huge fire in the room," said Madam Tanti.
