SINGAPORE – The sudden activation of a fire sprinkler system at Arcade @ The Capitol Kempinski on Aug 26 resulted in an indoor “rainfall”, with water pouring across the upscale mall and forcing the mall’s abrupt closure. The unexpected torrent drenched some restaurants on the ground floor, with at least one of them estimating the cost of the damage to be in the tens of thousands. A spokesman for Hopscotch, a restaurant and bar which opened in the mall in 2021, told The Straits Times that the water flooded the shop “quite badly”. “We have to change our vinyl floor entirely, and for our roof, the gypsum board was damaged as well,” he said, estimating that the total cost of the damage would be $60,000 to $80,000. The spokesman said the fire sprinklers went off twice. Water cascaded down at around 2.45pm for about 30 minutes. Then, at around 6pm, the sprinklers were triggered again and the “downpour” lasted for about 10 minutes. The spokesman said the mall engaged cleaners to help them with the cleaning and shifting of furniture, and the facility management staff “stayed with us all the way”.

Responding to queries by AsiaOne, a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) spokesperson said they were alerted to the blaze at Block 107 Potong Pasir Ave 1 at around 6.45am on Wednesday morning. By the time SCDF arrived, members of the public had already put out the fire by using a fire extinguisher. One person was pronounced dead on scene by an SCDF paramedic. A charred male body was found outside the flat, reported Lianhe Zaobao. Speaking with the Chinese newspaper, a female resident living above the unit recalled hearing two screams, waking her up at around 6am. The screams sounded like the person was in severe pain, but there were no cries for «help», she said. «My room is closer to the corridor, so I could hear it clearly,» the resident added. «I thought it was due to a wake on the ground floor of the HDB flat, and that someone was crying out of grief.» She also said that the unit where the fire occurred was home to a woman in her 60s and her nephew, a man in his 30s.
