The Singapore Civil Defence Force rescued two cats from a flat that caught fire on June 13 morning.

SCDF were alerted to the fire at a flat at Block 310 Jurong East Street 32 at about 7:50am.

The fire involved contents of a kitchen in a unit on the fifth floor.

3 persons, 2 cats in unit

Two persons and an infant were in the unit at the time of the fire.

They self-evacuated before the arrival of SCDF firefighters.

SCDF conveyed the infant to the National University Hospital as a precautionary measure.

Firefighters from Jurong Fire Station extinguished the fire using a water jet and a compressed air foam backpack.

About 15 people were evacuated from the neighbouring units by the police as a precautionary measure.

SCDF also rescued two cats that were found conscious within the unit.

The firefighters, some of them cross-trained as emergency medical technicians, provided oxygen to the two cats.

Attempt by public to put out fire

A member of the public had attempted to extinguish the fire using a fire extinguisher before SCDF's arrival.

SCDF said they will be reaching out to the person to commend him for his quick-thinking and prompt action in attempting to put out the fire.

The fire was confined to the kitchen area.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
