SINGAPORE: Three people were taken to hospital after a fire broke out at an executive condominium unit in Punggol on Wednesday evening (6 Aug).
In a Facebook post, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it responded to a fire at Block 19 Punggol Field Walk at around 7pm.
The address is part of the Waterwoods executive condominium.
When firefighters arrived, the living room of a unit on the 16th floor was ablaze.
SCDF officers conducted forcible entry into the unit and extinguished the fire using a water jet.
During the operation, four people were found inside the unit.
All were rescued and brought out safely by firefighters.
They were conscious and assessed for smoke inhalation.
Two individuals were conveyed to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital, and one was taken to Singapore General Hospital.
The fourth person declined to be taken to hospital.
As a precautionary measure, around 100 residents from the affected block were evacuated by the police and SCDF.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
On 29 July, seven people, including a firefighter and a child, were sent to hospital for treatment after a fire erupted in a HDB flat at Block 229 Lorong 8 Toa Payoh.
On 30 July, three people were hospitalised for smoke inhalation after a fire broke out at a Marsiling HDB flat on 30 July 2025. SCDF suspected the fire started from a power-assisted bicycle battery pack left in the living room.
