goodness. the nearest ang mo kio fire station is so near(less than five minutes away), yet not fast enough to stop the fire from engulfing the whole centre.

It's all the cooking oil and lard and cooking wine... It catches fire super super fast

 

[reachme2003]

well, it is all speculations on the cause/s now.

Hi all,

Tried taking pic there last night also with my 70-300 but in the end either i had high ISO (1600) which had a lot of noise or it's my shaky hands that simply cannot make it :dunno:
very sad.

Anyway, this should be the correct account from the hawker

1. Fire broke out from a store within the market (the store that sells joss sticks etc)
2. Hawkers saw it and tried to put out and called the fire station but cannot be
put out but still try by spraying water on it.
3. Fire spread quickly and soon whole market are all burnt

As for the insurance, I do know a couple of them do not have insurance covered
because the last time round the insurance company which covered them decided
to hike up the premium and so they decided not to follow thru. Sad again but
am writing to YCK town council to see whether they allow me to spearhead a
fund raising thing for the people affected hopefully can get the AMK community
to help out one another.

Those interested email me at woojackyATgmailDOTcom.
(hope this is allowed in the forum)
BTW i'm at 623 haha

Wow. The scene is just like those HK gangster movies, with lots of burning, smoke and explosions.

Nice series but poor us who live around that area.

There goes the Joo Heng Mince Meat Noodle, sting rays and chicken rice.

You must be referring to "JOO HENG"

Lets hope that the holders could restart their business asap.

All the best to them. :thumbsup:

temp market yes but stall holders need to vote to opt for it but on the hindsight, they still need to pay for the temp market.... always on the losing end

The first photo is simply great. Shows clearly the scale of the fire, with the help of the smoke, compared to the estate buildings around.
