Fire involving electrical wiring breaks out at PLQ Mall
A fire broke out at Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) Mall on May 28.
Stomper Judy told Stomp she noticed a fire engine in the area at about 12.39pm while waiting for a friend to pick her up near Paya Lebar Square.
Facebook user The Sunrise Sentosa also shared photos showing several fire engines in the area, including one parked at the space between PLQ Mall and PLQ Workplace.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told Stomp it was alerted to a fire at 10 Paya Lebar Road at about 8.15am.
“The fire, which involved electrical wiring at the ceiling, burnt itself out before SCDF’s arrival,” an SCDF spokesperson said.
There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
In response to a Stomp query, the mall confirmed a fire alarm was activated at PLQ at approximately 8.31am.
“This was triggered by a smoke detector at the Level 4 food court,” a PLQ spokesperson said. “There was no visible fire detected.”
“The SCDF attended to the situation promptly, and operations resumed on the same day following SCDF’s clearance to return to normal mall operations, including the food court.
“The safety and well-being of our tenants, shoppers and staff remain our top priority.”
