SINGAPORE - Three people were taken to hospital after a fire broke out in an executive condominium in Punggol on Aug 6.
In a Facebook post on Aug 6, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it responded to the fire at Block 19 Punggol Field Walk at about 7pm.
The address is the location of a block in Waterwoods executive condominium.
The living room of a 16th-floor unit was on fire when firefighters arrived at the scene.
SCDF forcibly entered the unit and extinguished the fire with a water jet.
During the fire-fighting operation, four people were found in the unit and were brought to safety by firefighters, said SCDF.
All four were conscious and were assessed for smoke inhalation.
Two were taken to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital and one to Singapore General Hospital, while the other declined to be taken to the hospital.
Police and SCDF officers evacuated about 100 people from the affected block as a precautionary measure.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
In 2020, a fire had also broken out in a unit on the same floor and block of the condominium.
Six people were rescued from the fire,
which involved the contents of a bedroom, said SCDF then.
