It was alerted to the second fire at about 5am last Wednesday and a fire in the master bedroom was extinguished using a water jet. There were no reported injuries from the second fire, which SCDF said was likely due to deep-seated embers.
The SCDF spokesman said on Monday:"Following the fire incident on Aug 16, 2022, SCDF conducted an extensive damping down operation within the unit for about eight hours after the fire was extinguished. A damping down operation of this duration was assessed to be necessary while balancing the need to preserve the scene for fire investigation.
"SCDF firefighters and fire investigators continued to work together and around 5pm, the thermal-imaging cameras showed that the temperature of the debris had reached normal ambient temperature levels and no heat spots were detected.
