Singapore: On Monday night (November 4), a fire broke out in the 34-story apartment at Pinnacle @ Duxton, prompting the evacuation of about 40 residents from nearby units.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) stated on Facebook that it received a fire alarm at 8:35 pm on Thursday.
The Civil Defence Force said that when the police arrived, the fire “raged in the unit”, adding that there was no one in the apartment at the time.
A fireman wearing a respirator extinguished a fire with a water gun.
The Civil Defense Force stated that the fire involved items in one room, adding that the rest of the apartment was affected by high temperature and smoke damage.
There were no reports of injuries. The evacuated residents were later allowed to return to their homes.
“An initial investigation into the cause of the fire indicated that it was caused by an open flame in the affected room,” SCDF said.
“SCDF reminds the public not to leave lit materials in unattended places and to extinguish them before leaving the house.”
