“The fire, which involved a personal mobility aid at a lift lobby on the eighth floor, was extinguished by firefighters with a water jet,” it said in a Facebook post on Wednesday. Four people were assessed for smoke inhalation and taken to Singapore General Hospital, and about 200 were evacuated from the affected block as a precautionary measure. The cause of the fire is under investigation, said SCDF. In August, three people were taken to the hospital after a fire involving a personal mobility aid broke out in a flat in Toa Payoh. The same month, two people were killed after a fire broke out in a flat in Bukit Merah. SCDF said preliminary findings indicated the fire could have started from a battery pack of a personal mobility device in the living room. “Motorised devices which are modified, not properly maintained, or charged using non-original chargers pose a fire risk,” SCDF said in its Facebook post on Wednesday.
