Miserable State of Junk Dry Riser

First published on WordPress, November 24, 2011
Many dry riser compartments have been ridiculously stuffed with many junk items (like pillow, bolster and sofa cushion) for quite a long time. These miserable states make me wonder how the dry riser can be deemed usable without compliance with some safety guidelines (or ISO standard).

On few occasions, I had removed some dangerous and sharp objects from the dry riser compartment outside my family unit. There was once we called police upon seeing a huge suspicious bag being chained to the dry riser. The policemen recorded some clothes and rare stones (actually jade items) in the huge bag, and went looking for the owner of the bag. The owner (a mad woman living 2 levels up) was instructed to remove her obstructing huge bag from the dry riser compartment.

I have raised the above safety lapse through TC regarding HDB fire dry riser. After 2 months, TC has replied that the cleaner will remove and clear the rubbish in the service duct. Till today, the fire dry risers are apparently still in miserable states as before. Based on my own knowledge (no reply from TC and anyone else), many junk items were cleared and uploaded into a big truck in the late afternoon on November 24.
