SINGAPORE – Singaporean host Juffri Alui had just put his seven-month-old baby to bed after returning home from a trip to Malaysia in the early hours of Oct 4 when his wife alerted him to crackling sounds and the smell of smoke in their toilet.
Soon after, he saw a small fire ignite in an LED light box above their toilet bowl, which then quickly turned into angry flames engulfing the entire area.
Speaking to The Straits Times on Oct 5, Juffri said that he was grateful that his family had managed to escape from their home in Punggol quickly and that all of them are safe.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to the fire at Block 684A Edgedale Plains at around 4.40am.
The fire, which involved a toilet in a unit on the fifth floor, was extinguished by SCDF using a hose reel.
“Preliminary findings indicate that the fire had likely started from an electrical origin in the toilet,” SCDF said, adding that there were no reported injuries.
Juffri, who is also a content creator, posted about the incident on Instagram on Oct 4.
