At 1133hrs, SCDF responded to a rescue incident at a construction site at the above mentioned location and dispatched the above mentioned resources.


Upon SCDF"s arrival, the incident involved a collapsed tower crane at the construction site.


There were a total of 4 casualties upon SCDF"s arrival. Two men were conveyed by SCDF ambulance to the Singapore General Hospital. Two men were pronounced dead on arrival. To our understanding, a man had also self-conveyed to the Raffles Hospital prior to SCDF"s arrival.
