On Tuesday (11 August), around 120 people were evacuated from Junction 8 mall, after a fire broke out at its Yakiniku Like outlet. A table grill and exhaust ducting were reportedly involved. But, incidents like these aren’t just limited to barbeque restaurants – we’ve heard of fires at hotpot and mookata joints too. Daniel Martin discusses further with Kelvyn Ong, Managing Director, King Fire Group – fire protection specialist based in Singapore.
