A fire broke out at a shophouse restaurant in Little India on Monday (March 30) night.<\/p>\n
The incident happened at about 8.10pm at 10 Roberts Lane.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Checks by AsiaOne indicate that the said location is the registered address of Bar B Q Tonight, a Pakistani cuisine restaurant.<\/p>\n
When AsiaOne reached the scene at about 9pm, there were at least three fire engines, two police fast response cars and an ambulance present.<\/p>\n
A police cordon in place around the affected shophouse unit stretched across three units.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said the fire involved the restaurant\u2019s kitchen exhaust ducting and was extinguished by firefighters using a water jet.<\/p>\n
It added that two persons were assessed for smoke inhalation but they declined to be taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n
SCDF also reminded stall-holders to keep the stove, its surrounding area, and the opening of exhaust ducts free from grease and oil stains.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Exhaust ducts should also be cleaned and maintained at least once a year.<\/p>\n
Fire investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
