At approximately 6:20 a.m., a distress call shattered the tranquil morning air, summoning the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) to a heart-wrenching scene—a ferocious inferno consuming a unit on the fourth floor of BLK 443C, Fernvale Road.
As the courageous firefighters arrived, their eyes widened in horror at the sight before them. The flames raged relentlessly, mercilessly devouring the contents of the once peaceful living room. Undeterred by the fiery fury, the valiant heroes from Sengkang Fire Station unleashed a powerful water jet to battle the roaring beast.
Amidst the chaos, amidst the crackling of flames and the billowing smoke, a chilling discovery was made. Three souls, trapped in separate bedrooms of the engulfed unit, fought desperately for their lives. With unwavering determination, SCDF firefighters rushed in, risking their own safety to rescue these hapless victims from the clutches of certain doom. Gasping for air, struggling against the toxic smoke that invaded their lungs, the three were hastily whisked away to Singapore General Hospital, their lives hanging in the balance.
In the aftermath, a grim truth began to emerge. Preliminary investigations pointed to a malicious culprit—an innocent-seeming battery pack of a Personal Mobility Device (PMD). It was this ticking time bomb that birthed the voracious blaze, leaving destruction and despair in its wake.
SCDF, shaken to the core by this harrowing incident, urgently implores the public to heed their cautionary cry. Let the horrors witnessed on this fateful day serve as a stark reminder of the perils of PMD/PAB fires. Beware the temptation to charge batteries for extended periods or throughout the night, for in this heedless act lies the potential for catastrophe. Do not be deceived by the allure of non-original batteries, for they hold within them the seeds of destruction. Let this be a call to action—a plea for vigilance, to safeguard lives and protect our homes from the wrath of these fire-breathing monsters.
