When The Straits Times arrived at the stall at about 10am, the charred stall was drenched in water and vacated, with the lights switched off.
Madam Lock said she was serving a few customers at the time of the fire and one of them passed her a fire extinguisher from a container outside her stall, which she then gave to her husband.With the only exit blocked by the smoke coming out of the stall on fire, she was forced to climb out from the counter of her stall with the help of a customer.
The 50-year-old said: “Everything in my stall got wet, including my induction stove. I even collected bowls of water from the dripping ceiling to prevent it spilling everywhere, and I had to wipe away the puddles on my counter top.In response to queries, the hawker centre’s management, Canopy Hawkers Group, said the fire suppression system within the affected stall was triggered and the fire did not spread to other stalls.
