SINGAPORE - Three children were taken to hospital after fire broke out at a Housing Board flat in Marsiling late on Saturday night (May 14). The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said that it was alerted to the fire at a 29th-floor unit in Block 180C Marsiling Road around midnight, and extinguished it with a water jet. The victims were taken to KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH), and the cause of the fire is under investigation, SCDF added. Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC MP Zaqy Mohamad, who visited the children in KKH on Sunday, told The Straits Times they are stable and are expected to be discharged on Monday. He said one of them is a seven-year-old girl and the other two are her cousin and his female friend, who are in secondary school. Mr Zaqy added that the children were alone in the flat when the fire started. ST understands the girl’s mother reached home from work around the same time that SCDF officers arrived to put out the fire. Neighbours ST spoke to said they did not know much about the family in the affected flat. Read more
