HDB flat at Bishan Street 11 catches fire, no one injured



A fire broke out in a Housing Board flat on the second level of Block 501 at Bishan Street 11 on Saturday morning.Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers were alerted to the incident and despatched a fire engine, fire bike, 2 red rhinos and a supporting vehicle to the scene.According to the SCDF, the fire was confined to the bedroom but the rest of the unit was affected by heat and smoke. Due to the thick smoke at the corridor, officers also had to conduct a forced entry into the adjacent unit to ensure that no one was trapped.No one was injured. The SCDF is investigating the cause of the fire.This article appeal to me because I had experience the same incident before.The smoke was blew up to my unit and fortunately no one was injured but it has affected 3 household including my unit. The question I have for the writer is that did the fire affected the UOB bank's operation as it is located below the unit and did it also affected the customers in the bank.I think that to avoid any losses causes by the unexpected incidents we should buy an insurance so that if it did affected our unit we would not have to pay a large amount of money for renovation.
