Cat Stuck on Ledge After Escaping Fire At Be Reservoir HDB
When a fire breaks out at home, our primary focus will naturally be to get away ASAP. Sometimes, however, we unintentionally leave our beloved pets behind.
On Friday (12 Nov) afternoon, a cat was seen sitting precariously on a ledge outside a Bedok Reservoir unit that had caught fire.

According to Aljunied GRC MP Pritam Singh, a fire had broken out at Block 106 Bedok Reservoir Road on Friday (12 Nov) afternoon.
Probably due to the burning smell, a neighbour from the opposite block looked out to see what was happening.
To her horror, she spotted a cat on the ledge which had presumably jumped out to escape the fire.
The neighbour mentioned that while the residents were safely rescued, the firemen were unable to rescue the cat.
Thus, she decided to inform SPCA about the incident.

The cat’s sticky situation was also noticed by Mr Singh who was there to assist with the post-fire investigations.
In his Facebook post, he assured that help for the cat is on the way.
Mr Singh also added there were no injuries and that the fire was quickly extinguished by Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) officers.
In a subsequent update, the neighbour confirmed that the cat was safely rescued from the ledge by SPCA officers.
