SINGAPORE: Eighteen residents were evacuated by the police in the early morning hours of Tuesday (June 11) when a fire broke out in an Ang Mo Kio coffee shop.
There were no reported injuries in the blaze that damaged the eatery in Block 407 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 10. The people evacuated lived on the second floor.
The fire likely originated from unattended cooking at one of the stalls in the coffee shop, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) in a Facebook post on June 11.

Most of the stalls suffered damage.

1. Not to leave cooking unattended
2. Not to place any flammable materials near heat sources
