SINGAPORE – Two people – one of whom was unconscious – were taken to hospital after a fire broke out in an HDB flat at Bukit Panjang on the afternoon of Sept 28.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said in a social media post on Sept 28 that it was alerted to a fire at Block 126 Pending Road at about 3pm.
When its officers arrived at the scene, black smoke was emitting from a unit on the sixth floor.
The fire involved items in the living room, said SCDF, adding that the cause of the fire is under investigation.
The fire was extinguished using one water jet.
The firefighters found an unconscious person in the living room during the firefighting operation, and brought the person out of the unit.
An SCDF paramedic and emergency medical technicians performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation before the person was taken to Woodlands Hospital.
Another person from a neighbouring unit was assessed for smoke inhalation and was taken to Singapore General Hospital.
About 70 people from the affected block were evacuated as a precaution.
The top three causes of fires in residential premises are unattended cooking, electrical fires and unattended lighted materials, said SCDF in its post .
“Residents are strongly advised not to leave cooking unattended, and to keep stove-tops, cooker hoods and ovens clean and free of grease,” SCDF said.
“They should also avoid overloading power sockets or charging devices overnight without supervision. Lighted materials such as incense sticks or cigarettes should never be left unattended and must be fully extinguished before disposal.”

新加坡——9月28日下午，武吉班让的一间组屋发生火灾，两人被送往医院，其中一人失去意识。
新加坡民防部队（SCDF）于9月28日在社交媒体上发帖称，当天下午3点左右接到报警，称彭定路第126座组屋发生火灾。
当警员到达现场时，六楼的一个单元冒出了滚滚黑烟。
新加坡民防部队表示，起火物品位于客厅内，火灾原因正在调查中。
火势被一门水炮扑灭了。
消防员在灭火过程中发现客厅里有一名昏迷不醒的人，并将此人从屋内抬了出来。
新加坡民防部队的医护人员和急救技术员对该伤者进行了心肺复苏，之后将其送往兀兰医院。
隔壁单元的另一名住户因吸入烟雾接受了评估，并被送往新加坡中央医院。
为安全起见，受影响街区的约 70 人被疏散。
新加坡民防部队在其帖子中表示，住宅火灾的三大原因是无人看管的烹饪、电气火灾和无人看管的点燃物品。
新加坡民防部队表示：“强烈建议居民不要让烹饪过程无人看管，并保持炉灶、抽油烟机和烤箱清洁，无油脂残留。”
“他们还应避免在无人看管的情况下，让电源插座过载或在夜间给设备充电。点燃的物品，例如香或香烟，绝不能无人看管，并且在丢弃前必须完全熄灭。”
