[Fire @ Block 112, Jalan Bukit Merah] At about 5:35pm today (19 Mar), SCDF was alerted to a fire at the abovementioned location. The fire involved a Power Assisted Bicycle (PAB) that was parked near a market stall on the ground floor. The fire was extinguished by firefighters from Central Fire Station with a water jet. As a result of the fire, three stalls sustained fire and smoke damage. There were no reported injuries. Preliminary investigation indicates that the fire had likely originated from the battery pack of the PAB. To prevent PAB fires, the public is reminded not to leave batteries or devices charging for a prolonged period or charging them unattended overnight. In addition, do not purchase or use non-original batteries. See the accompanying infographic for more fire safety tips.
