One Individual Hospitalised Following Yishun Flat Fire

Following a fire incident in a Housing Board flat in Yishun, one person was transported to Singapore General Hospital.

Fire Alert and Public Intervention

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) received an alert regarding the fire, which involved the contents of the unit, at approximately 3 am. Significantly, members of the public had already extinguished the flames using a hose reel and a fire extinguisher before SCDF officers reached the scene.
Rescue Efforts by Residents

In addition to extinguishing the fire, two residents identified as Furzan and Razmi, along with Razmi's brother, were instrumental in rescuing another individual from the affected unit. These actions were acknowledged by Nee Soon GRC MP Lee Hui Ying, who expressed gratitude for their assistance.
Ongoing Investigation and Commendation

The SCDF has stated that the cause of the fire remains under investigation. The force also indicated its intention to commend the members of the public who intervened to extinguish the blaze for their "public-spirited acts." The Nee Soon Town Council team also provided assistance, and the local MP has pledged ongoing support to the affected family.
