Early morning fire burns flats in Whampoa but no one injured
Updated: 2014–02–22–14:05
An early Saturday morning fire at a Housing Board block in Whampoa gutted two neighbouring two-room flats.
In the flat where the fire started, one of its bedroom walls collapsed into the unit beside it.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was notified of the fire at Block 33, Jalan Bahagia at 1.50am. When SCDF officers arrived, the occupants of the flat where the fire first blazed – two men in their 40s and 60s – as well as 40 residents had already evacuated the block.
It is not known if there were any occupants in the other flat on fire but no one was injured. The fire was under control within 10 minutes.
