SINGAPORE: Firefighters and rescuers from the elite Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team took two hours to free a person’s arm, which was stuck in a kitchen drain pipe in a Housing Board flat in Lakeside on Thursday (Nov 27).
In a Facebook post on the same day, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it responded to a call at Block 338A Tah Ching Road at about 1.35pm.
“Upon SCDF’s arrival, a person was found in a flat with his entire left arm trapped in a drain pipe under the kitchen sink,” it said in the post.
The rescue operation involved rescuers working in the flat where the person was stuck, as well as in the unit directly below.
