Four people were stuck on Labrador Jetty for three hours on Dec 12 after the exit was blocked by a fallen tree.

Stomper Ritson said it happened at around 5.30pm.

"The four were unable to exit the jetty because the entrance was badly damaged and obstructed by a fallen tree," said the Stomper, who shared videos of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) at the scene.

"Due to the danger, SCDF used a ladder to climb from the beach to rescue the four people one after another.

"The ordeal ended at 8.30pm."

In response to a Stomp query, SCDF said it received a call for assistance at Labrador Jetty at 7.50pm.

Upon arrival, SCDF found four people stranded along the jetty due to a fallen tree. They were brought to safety by SCDF firefighters using a ladder.

No ambulance assistance was required, said SCDF.

The Stomper said: "I want to take this opportunity to thank those involved in the rescue mission."
