SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Some 20 people were evacuated from an HDB block in Telok Blangah after a fire involving a power-assisted bicycle (PAB) broke out on the afternoon of Jan 3.
In a Facebook post on Jan 3, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to a fire at Block 108 Bukit Purmei Road at around 1.20pm.
One of the bedrooms of a sixth-floor flat was on fire, SCDF said. Firefighters forcibly entered the smoke-filled flat and extinguished the fire with two water jets.
No one was inside the flat when the fire, which was confined to the bedroom, broke out. There were no reported injuries, said SCDF.
