SINGAPORE – Two people were taken to hospital after a fire broke out at a shophouse in the Jalan Besar area on Aug 26.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was alerted to the fire at 85 Maude Road at about 7.30pm that day.
The fire involved the contents of a kitchen on the first floor of the two-storey shophouse, said SCDF.
When officers arrived at the scene, the fire had already been extinguished by members of the public with a hosereel and an extinguisher.
One person was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and another to Singapore General Hospital, said SCDF.
A cafe called Cofreely was previously a tenant on the first floor, but it had closed down in recent months. It announced its closure on its social media platforms in June.
According to Google Maps, three interior design companies are located on the second floor of the shophouse.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, said SCDF.
