A fire broke out at the Palm Gardens condominium at 2 Hong San Walk today (May 7) at around 1.30pm.
Stomper Kevin who witnessed the incident alerted Stomp to the fire, and sent in photos and a video.
According to Kevin, officers from the SCDF were already at the scene when he arrived at 2pm.
The fire alarm had sounded and thick billows of smoke were emitted from a unit on the 4th floor.
From the video Kevin took, SCDF officers were also seen using a water hose to cool down the burning unit from the ground level, while their colleagues entered the house to put out the fire.
Said Kelvin:
“Fortunately, no one was hurt.
“Some people were still swimming in the pool, oblivious to the fire.”
The SCDF has issued an official statement on the incident:
