SINGAPORE \u2013 The police are investigating two fires that broke out in the Sungei Kadut industrial estate over two days, after they appear to have been deliberate.<\/p>\n
In a statement on March 12, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said no injuries were reported in both incidents, which occurred on March 10 and 11.<\/p>\n
However, preliminary findings show that both fires were started intentionally, it added.<\/p>\n
On March 10, firefighters were alerted to the incident at 56 Sungei Kadut Drive at about 6.45am and put out the flames with two water jets. <\/p>\n
The fire involved tins of paint within the premises.<\/p>\n
The next day, at about 7.40am, SCDF was alerted to another fire at 51 Sungei Kadut Street 1.<\/p>\n
The fire involved wooden materials on the first floor of a building. SCDF extinguished the fire using two water jets.<\/p>\n
JTC Corporation, which oversees planning and development of Sungei Kadut, said in a statement on March 12 that it is working closely with SCDF and the police on their investigations and is also enhancing its security provisions. <\/p>\n
As Sungei Kadut will be redeveloped into Sungei Kadut Eco-District, JTC is recovering sites as leases expire and carrying out demolition progressively, it said.<\/p>\n
Existing companies in the area have been reminded to stay vigilant and report any unusual activities to the police, it added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
