Two fires broke out on Saturday morning (Jan 25), the first day of Chinese New Year, but no injuries were reported.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) deployed 10 emergency vehicles and 30 firefighters to put out a fire in a two-storey supermarket in Bedok North.
SCDF said in a Facebook post that it was alerted to the fire at Block 539A Bedok North Street 3 at about 11.35am.
The non-residential unit was heavily smoke-logged upon SCDF’s arrival.
Amid poor visibility, firefighters wearing breathing apparatus sets and armed with water jets entered the unit to locate the fire and anyone who could be trapped within.
“Firefighters had to proceed cautiously on the second-floor as a large area had been extensively damaged,” SCDF said.
The fire, which destroyed the contents on the second floor of the supermarket, was extinguished by SCDF with one water jet.
