SINGAPORE – A 57-year-old man died in his flat at Woodlands Crescent when a fire broke out on Tuesday morning. Two others, a man, 23 and a 58-year-old woman, who were in the flat with him, were found to have suffered from smoke inhalation.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was alerted to the fire at 3.18am. It then deployed fire engines, red rhinos, and ambulances to the scene at Blk 788E, the SCDF said in a statement.
The team put out the fire in the living and study rooms of the flat in 20mins.
Firefighters found the older man, believed to be the owner of the unit, unconscious in a toilet and pulled him out. He had suffered from a cardiac arrest. Paramedics then tried to resuscitate him. He was later sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital along with the 23-year-old man.
