There are hundreds of fires in HDB common areas every year. It is important not to obstruct the common corridors and fire fighting equipment such as dry risers and hose reels as this can seriously hamper the fire fighting efforts and prevent a smooth evacuation during an emergency.
For you and your loved ones, pls do your part to keep the common area clear and safe!
Following are the guidelines on the usage of the common areas in HDB estates:
1) While SCDF does not permit the storage of combustible materials along common corridors, the placement of shoe rack is allowed for the sole purpose of keeping shoes whereby it would not constitute a substantial fire load;
2) A minimum clear escape passage of 1.2m clearance is to be maintained from the parapet wall where the shoe rack is to be allowed
3) No objects are to be placed along common corridors less than 1.2m wide
4) No placement / storage of objects at staircases and its immediate landing is allowed.
5) No storage of items within dry / wet riser compartment

Arising from the water tank incident at Block 686B Woodlands Drive 73, many residents have raised concerns on the security system of water tanks.
Since then, the 14 PAP Town Councils have met up with PUB several times and deliberated on the measures imposed.
We would like to assure our residents that there is a proper security system in place.
Implementation of a Three-Pronged Strategy to further tighten security of water tanks
(1) Introduced standard operating procedures for authorised roof acess
(2) Tender called for enhanced lock / restricted key control system to replace to non-duplicable locks
(3) Securing with bolting or festening of steel brackets over water tank covers
The Town Council will continue to look into ways to enhance the security of the water tanks and roof access to better serve our residents.

Thank you.
