In the first four months of this year, the SCDF responded to 339 fire incidents at residential premises - a 6.9 per cent decrease from the 364 between January and April 2021.

Mr Parthi said:"If your neighbour's flat is on fire, the first thing you should do is to shout 'fire' and ask for someone to call the SCDF.

While it is always best to leave the building as soon as one knows there is a fire, those who are trapped within their homes should go to a room, shut the door and use a wet towel to block off smoke from entering before calling the SCDF for help, said Mr Parthi. Mr Wu said:"The council encourages households to install home fire alarm devices if they do not already have one as it can provide early warnings for fires."
