SINGAPORE: Three people were taken to Singapore General Hospital for smoke inhalation after a fire broke out in a Housing Board flat at Block 4 Marsiling Road on 30 July 2025.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it responded to the fire at about 5.50pm.
Firefighters found the living room and bedroom of the 13th floor unit ablaze.
According to a Facebook post by SCDF, the fire was extinguished with a water jet.
Preliminary investigations indicate the fire likely started from the battery pack of a power-assisted bicycle left in the living room.
SCDF reminded the public not to leave devices charging overnight or unattended for long periods.
Residents are also urged to avoid using non-original batteries to reduce fire risks.
This incident follows another flat fire in Toa Payoh a day earlier, which sent seven people, including a child and a firefighter, to hospital.
