SINGAPORE \u2013 Two people were taken to hospital and buildings in Fishery Port Road were evacuated on June 29 after ammonia was detected.<\/p>\n
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said in a Facebook post at about 2pm that it received a call for assistance at 11 Fishery Port Road at about 11.45am that day.<\/p>\n
Upon SCDF\u2019s arrival, ammonia was detected within the premises\u2019 compound and it was evacuated.<\/p>\n
Checks by The Straits Times show that it is the address of Jurong Marine Cold Storage, an ice supplier and cold storage facility.<\/p>\n
As a precautionary measure, buildings at 9 and 15 Fishery Port Road have also been evacuated, SCDF said.<\/p>\n
It added that hazardous materials (hazmat) specialists are on site and carrying out mitigation operations.<\/p>\n
In an update at about 2.30pm, it said that hazmat specialists traced the leak to a pipe in a room within the premises. The supply valve to the affected pipe has been shut off.<\/p>\n
Latest readings from hazmat detectors confirmed that the concentration of ammonia vapour at the location has decreased.<\/p>\n
Two people were earlier assessed by SCDF and taken to the Singapore General Hospital for exposure to the ammonia vapour.<\/p>\n
SCDF has advised members of the public to avoid the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
