A fire broke out in a bedroom of a 10th floor HDB flat in Sengkang on Monday (Dec 1) morning.
The incident took place at about 2.55am at Block 415A Fernvale Link.
In a Facebook post on the same day, Ang Mo Kio GRC member of parliament Victor Lye said the fire may have been caused by an electronic device being charged.
“Woken up by the crackling fire, the resident tried putting out the fire with four fire extinguisher canisters that he had, but it was not enough,” added Lye, who represents the Buangkok-Fernvale South ward.
He also thanked the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) for their quick response, and the town council team which assisted to clean up the place before residents in the block left for work.
