dies
SINGAPORE: Two fires in two days - both in HDB flats
- with one resulting in the death of a man.
The cause of the fires has yet to be
established.
On Saturday morning, a fire broke out in the kitchen
in a third-floor flat at Block 154, Ang Mo Kio Ave 5.
Units on the 4th and 5th floors were evacuated as a precautionary
measure.
And on Friday night, a man died after a flat in Block 31, Toa Payoh
Lorong 5 caught fire.
His body was so badly burnt that his age and race have yet to be
established.
Twenty people were evacuated. Three were sent to hospital for smoke
inhalation.
