earlier this week was stuck, and attempts to dislodge it were unsuccessful at first, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said on Friday .
“The fire was observed to be well alight at two of the units and was threatening to spread to two adjacent units via the roof,” the spokesperson said. Said the SCDF spokesperson:"The pit cover of the nearest hydrant that the LFAV crew had attempted to use was stuck and attempts to dislodge it were initially unsuccessful.According to SCDF, the last operational test on the hydrant with the stuck pit cover was in December 2021, during which it was found to be in proper working condition. It would have been tested again this March.
“While a water supply hose from that hydrant was initially channelled to the LFAV’s water monitor, a decision was made to quickly redirect it to the fire engine’s water tank, which was necessary to ensure that there was no water disruption to the two water jets,” the spokesman said.At around 12.11am, subsequent arriving resources were deployed to the rear of the affected units to support the firefighting operation.
“With a total of four hydrants supplying water for the firefighting efforts, the strategy was to surround and contain the fire to the affected units,” the spokesperson said.
