Updated: 2019–07–04
SINGAPORE – A fire broke out in a Tampines Housing Board flat on Wednesday evening (July 3).
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said in a Facebook post that it responded to a fire at Block 125 Tampines Street 11 at 6.20pm. The fire involved the contents of a living room on the fourth floor of the block.
The SCDF put out the fire using a water jet. There were no reported injuries.
Preliminary investigations show that the battery of a personal mobility device (PMD) was being charged when the fire occurred.
Two boys, aged 17 and 10, were in their upstairs bedroom of the two-storey maisonette flat when the fire broke out, reported The New Paper.
They escaped after their neighbours called out for them to run downstairs and get out.
