It added that it will be taking enforcement action against the person or entity responsible for the obstruction.

In response to The Straits Times' queries, an SCDF spokesman said on July 16 it conducted an inspection at Block 427 Serangoon Central on July 11, after receiving public feedback. "However, several other fire safety infringements were detected, including storage of items along the common corridor which resulted in obstruction to means of escape via the staircases."

Neighbours ST interviewed for an earlier story said that while the cabin did not obstruct their way, the corridor near where it stood could be hard to pass, especially if they are carrying groceries, for example.
