SINGAPORE - A fire broke out in a residential unit at Pinnacle @ Duxton in Cantonment Road on Thursday (Nov 4), possibly stemming from lit oil lamps at a praying altar, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) in a Facebook post.

SCDF arrived at the scene after being alerted to the fire on the 34th storey of Block 1E Cantonment Road at 8.35pm.

Firefighters arrived to find a blaze raging within the unit, and extinguished the fire with one water jet.

There was no one in the unit at the time of the fire, SCDF said in a Facebook post.

It added that preliminary investigations indicated that the fire was due to lit oil lamps left unattended at a praying altar.

The unit was affected by heat and smoke damage, said SCDF. No injuries were reported.

About 40 residents from nearby units were evacuated by the police as a precautionary measure.

SCDF reminded the public not to leave lit materials unattended and that they should be extinguished before residents leave their homes.

The fire will remove the lingering smell of curry from the unit. The keling owners should be thankful that after some renovations, their burnt unit will be sellable finally.

If you want one reason not to rent out to ah nehs... this is it.

You might enjoy the curry smell, you might even enjoy their rowdy brats. Getting burnt to a crisp, however, I guarantee you will not enjoy.

Tenants always believe as they pay you monthly rental, they can almost destroy everything in the apartment.

So beside enduring foul shit from their cooking, we still need to buy the top tier fire insurance for shit like that? Only in Singapore.

Whichever god they were praying to at the altar probably didn't get a good fuck the night before and hence was pissed off and decided to let off steam by burning down the whole frigging house.

34th storey. Million dollar house.

its likely Chink family praying to some Guanyin or Dua Peh Gong.
34 storey is highly unauspicious - live and die. lucky that no one died from the fire,.

34 floors how to escape? Go up or go down? either way you are too far from safety.

What's the name of this restaurant? Who awarded them the best restaurant title?

I used to burn incense with coloured candles until we stop because of cost and possible downside. Now looking back. We were lucky.
