SINGAPORE, April 10 (Xinhua) -- Preliminary investigations by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) into a deadly fire on Tuesday have uncovered fire safety violations, including unauthorized construction of partitions within the premises.

According to a Facebook post by the SCDF on Wednesday, the fire likely originated from a storage area on the second floor of a three-story shophouse located on River Valley Road in southern Singapore.

The responsible party could face a fine of up to 200,000 Singapore dollars (about 148,000 U.S. dollars), a prison term of up to 24 months, or both, the SCDF said.

The fire on Tuesday morning killed a 10-year-old girl and left 21 others injured. Enditem
