SINGAPORE – Two men died following a fire at an industrial building in Kaki Bukit on Sept 19.
In a Facebook post that day, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at 25 Kaki Bukit Road 4 at about 12.55pm.
Firefighters from Paya Lebar Fire Station and Tampines Fire Station arrived and found a unit on the fifth floor of the building ablaze.
Two men, aged 51 and 65, were found unconscious inside a unit opposite the burning one.
The firefighters performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on them and they were taken unconscious to Changi General Hospital.
The men later died from their injuries, the police said.
