Management company employee discovered fire

The Yu Le Yuen Community Garden where the fire occurred is managed by Huayuan Trading Co., Ltd. The garden is open to the public for rent, allowing them to plant freely.

Huang Qingyuan, assistant manager of Huayuan's trading and sales department, said in an interview that after staff discovered that one of the gardens was on fire in the afternoon, they immediately called the police and notified the Civil Defense Force.

A video believed to have been taken from a high floor of a HDB flat showed billows of black smoke rising from the fire garden and the fire was very intense.

 

When Huang Qingyuan received the call and rushed back to the garden, the fire had been put out. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

The photos he provided showed that the protective netting in the garden had been burned away, leaving only the supports. The items in the garden were almost burned to ashes. Only some plants placed high on the shelves were not damaged.
