Massive fire guts Ang Mo Kio wet market, hawker centre

SINGAPORE: When patrons heard the shouting, they thought that a fight had erupted at the other end of the hawker centre in Ang Mo Kio.

It turned out that a big fire had broken out one that would raze the entire wet market and food centre at Block 628A, Ang Mo Kio St 61.

Witnesses said that the fire started at about 9pm. The area was still crowded then, with some 100 people.

One hawker, Mr Alvin Teo, said he saw his cooked food stall, which he had operated for the past 26 years, destroyed by the fire within minutes.

The owner was having a drink with his friends at the hawker centre when the fire broke out.

A crestfallen Mr Teo, 47, said: "When I saw the fire, I wanted to run in to put it out but the fire spread too fast. I feel very heartbroken. The stall was like my second home."

The cause of the fire remained unknown and no casualties were reported at press time.

A police officer was heard telling some residents living on the lower floors next to the hawker centre that it was safe for them to return to their homes. TODAY/yb
