Warrant Officer 2 Muhammad Kamil Mohamed Yasin, 39, faces one charge of causing grievous hurt by a rash act which endangers life or the personal safety of others.
The NSF, Sergeant 1 Edward H. Go, 19, died while fighting the blaze at Block 91 Henderson Road on Dec 8, 2022.
Kamil was removed from front-line duties from Aug 23, 2023. He was charged on Oct 16 that year and interdicted on half-pay the same week. According to court records, he is set to plead guilty on Jan 15, 2025.
Kamil is accused of exiting the fourth-floor unit during the fire, leaving SGT(1) Go alone in the burning unit, and failing to inform anyone about it. SGT(1) Go was the first firefighter to die during an SCDF firefighting operation.
