SCDF said its HazMat specialists traced the leak to a pipe in a room within the premises.
“The supply valve to the affected pipe has been shut off. Latest readings from HazMat detectors confirmed that the concentration of ammonia vapour in the premises has decreased.”
Two people from the affected premises were earlier assessed by SCDF and taken to Singapore General Hospital for exposure to the ammonia vapour.
SCDF also cautioned members of the public to stay away from the location.
