A fire broke out on the ninth floor of a Housing Board flat on Wednesday night (Nov 10), caused by a power-assisted bicycle (PAB) being charged along the corridor.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to the fire at Block 94 Pipit Road at about 8.05pm.

The corridor was affected by heat and smoke damage because of the fire, and about 90 residents from nearby units were evacuated by SCDF and the police as a precautionary measure, SCDF said. Prior to the firefighters' arrival, several members of the public had attempted to put out the fire using buckets of water and a fire extinguisher.

Preliminary investigation into the cause of the fire indicates that it was of electrical origin from the PAB, said SCDF.
