Upon their arrival, the firefighters and rescuers began searching the area affected by the collapse, which measured about 20m by 10m, aided by two SCDF search dogs.
“The firefighters and rescuers removed piles of rugs and cut through storage racks to reach the three trapped persons,” SCDF said.
“After an operation lasting about 90 minutes, all three persons, two of whom were children, were rescued.”
All four people who were trapped as a result of the collapse were subsequently taken to hospital – the adults to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and the children to KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
“All four persons were conscious when conveyed to the hospitals,” SCDF said.
