TWO FIRES raged within 500m of one another during a span of two hours on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival on Sunday.

The first fire began at 11pm at Block 1 Maude Road before the second one consumed the second level of a shophouse in Aliwal Street early yesterday morning.

Although seven people were sent to hospital, there were no fatalities from the incidents.
