Preliminary investigations indicate the cause of the fire is of electrical origin, says SCDF.
Firefighters used a water jet to extinguish the fire, which was in the bedroom of a unit on the 11th floor of Block 612 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said in a Facebook post that it was alerted to the fire at Block 612 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4 at around 2am. Five people had left the affected unit before the SCDF arrived. Two of them were taken to Singapore General Hospital, and two were taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital for smoke inhalation, said the agency. The remaining person declined to be taken to hospital.
“Preliminary investigation indicates that the cause of the fire is of electrical origin, likely from an electrical socket in the bedroom,” said the SCDF, adding that the investigation is still ongoing.
