In the first four months of this year, the SCDF responded to 339 fire incidents on residential premises, down 6.9 per cent 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.

Prof Sing added that in a fire, it would be helpful for the town councils to have a list of older or less mobile residents who are vulnerable so they will not be left behind during the evacuation.
