Bukit Merah flat fire that killed two occupants likely caused by PMD battery pack
Preliminary investigations have found that a personal mobility device battery pack may have been behind last night's fatal Jalan Bukit Merah fire. Two occupants of a rental unit died, while about 60 residents were evacuated due to the fire. The Singapore Civil Defence Force said there were 20 fires due to PMDs in the first half of 2025, up from 10 in the same period last year. Alexandra Anand reports.
