Festive Season Fire Safety
Advisory for Hari Raya 2015
With Hari Raya Puasa around the corner, the SCDF would like to
remind everyone to exercise caution to minimise fire hazards and
prevent the outbreaks of fire during the joyous occasion.
When preparing for the festive season, bearing in mind simple fire
safety tips can help prevent fires.
Residents are advised not to discard items at common areas such as
corridors, lift lobbies and void decks. They should arrange with
Town Councils or Management Office for the removal of unwanted
bulky items. Residents should also continue to play their part to
prevent rubbish fires. Lighted materials such as cigarette
butts must be completely extinguished and burning embers must be
doused with water before disposal into rubbish chutes/ or bins.
The SCDF will also broadcast short announcements on fire safety
advisory to all our Muslim radio listeners via Warna 94.2FM and Ria
89.7FM from 15 July 2015 onwards during this period.
Some useful fire safety tips for residential premises are listed
in Annex A. Fire
safety is a collective community responsibility and together we can
help to reduce fire occurrences in Singapore.
SCDF would like to wish all Muslims Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
and let’s remain safe during this joyous festive season.
