Ang Mo Kio Hub escalator catches fire

A fire on an escalator at Ang Mo Kio Hub saw close to 1,000 people evacuated from the mall on Tuesday afternoon. No one was injured in the incident.

The fire started on the escalator connecting basement one to the ground floor at 12.30pm. According to reports, the mechanism under the escalator’s floor plates caught fire.

Tenants and shoppers were immediately evacuated by the mall’s management staff as they were concerned that the thick smoke from the fire would pose a hazard.

Business operations in the mall resumed about half an hour after the fire was put out by firefighters.

The mall’s management said that the escalator that caught fire was serviced about a week ago and they are currently working with the escalator company to investigate the cause of the incident.

The incident was the third fire at the mall since it opened in 2007.
