SINGAPORE - When they realised their neighbours’ flat was on fire at nearly 3am, a couple in the construction business grabbed their crowbar and tried to pry open the front door.
A fire broke out at a unit on the fourth storey at Block 280B Sengkang East Avenue, at around 2.45am on Wednesday. His wife said: “We also tried to turn off the gas and electricity supply as we were scared there would be an explosion.” Mr Siahaan said the two couples removed a shoe rack blocking the electrical riser and the four of them continually banged on the door of the burning unit, hoping to alert them to the fire.Mr Siahaan, a 38-year-old who works in IT sales, said: “I was worried they might have fainted.”When The Straits Times arrived at 10.30am, staff from Sengkang Town Council and SCDF investigators were at the unit. Black soot marks covered the walls above the front door.
