One person was taken to hospital and about 30 people were evacuated after a fire broke out at a Bukit Batok coffee shop at Block 413 Bukit Batok West Avenue 4.

SCDF said they were alerted to the fire at about 3.50am and it involved three food stalls. Officers forced entry and put it out with two water jets. The cause is under investigation.

MP Lee Hong Chuang said residents on the second floor were mostly unaffected, but stallholders and workers now face clean-up and recovery after the “unfortunate incident”.

SINGAPORE – Thirty people were evacuated and one person was taken to hospital after a fire broke out in a coffee shop in Bukit Batok on the morning of Oct 11.

In response to queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at Block 413 Bukit Batok West Avenue 4 at 3.50am.

The fire involved three food stalls at a coffee shop on the ground floor, it added.

As a precaution, the police and SCDF evacuated about 30 people from the affected block.

SCDF officers entered the coffee shop by force and extinguished the fire using two water jets.

One of the evacuated persons was taken to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital.

The cause of the fire is under investigation, said SCDF.

In a Facebook post, Hong Kah North MP Lee Hong Chuang said he had visited the affected block, and that he observed “no significant impact” on the residents living on the second floor.

“However, at one unit, I could feel that the floor was slightly warm. I advised the family to exercise extra caution and keep their little one away from the kitchen floor for the time being, as young children’s skin can be more sensitive to heat,” he said.

Lee also said: “Beyond the physical damage within the coffee shop, we must also remember the people whose lives and livelihoods have been affected”.

He added that “behind every stall are hardworking individuals and families who need some time to clear up and start over again”.

“My thoughts are with the coffee shop owner, all the stallholders, their workers and everyone affected by this unfortunate incident,” he said.

This is reportedly the third reported coffee shop fire in 2026 after a Hougang coffee shop fire in May , and another near a famous temple in Waterloo street in March .

In its annual statistics report released in February, SCDF said the total number of fires increased by 3% to 2,050 in 2025 – up from 1,990 in 2024. Of these, more than half involved fires in residential buildings.

Unattended cooking and electrical fires – including faults in electrical wiring or overloaded sockets – remained the top two causes of home fires.

武吉巴督西4道第413座的一家咖啡店发生火灾，一人被送往医院，约30人被疏散。

新加坡民防部队表示，他们于凌晨3点50分左右接到火警，起火点位于三个食品摊位。消防人员强行进入摊位，并使用两支水枪将火扑灭。起火原因正在调查中。

国会议员李鸿昌表示，二楼居民大多未受影响，但摊贩和工作人员在“不幸事件”后现在面临着清理和恢复工作。

新加坡——10月11日上午，武吉巴督一家咖啡店发生火灾，30人被疏散，1人被送往医院。

针对询问，新加坡民防部队（SCDF）表示，他们于凌晨 3 点 50 分接到报警，称武吉巴督西 4 道第 413 座组屋发生火灾。

报道称，火灾涉及一楼咖啡店的三个食品摊位。

为安全起见，警方和新加坡民防部队从受影响的街区疏散了约 30 人。

新加坡民防部队人员强行进入咖啡店，并使用两支水枪扑灭了火灾。

其中一名疏散人员被送往黄廷方综合医院。

新加坡民防部队表示，火灾原因正在调查中。

洪嘉北区国会议员李鸿昌在脸书上发帖称，他已前往受影响的组屋楼宇，并表示他观察到二楼居民“未受到明显影响”。

“不过，在其中一间房子里，我感觉地板有点温热。我建议这家人格外小心，暂时让孩子远离厨房地板，因为幼儿的皮肤对热比较敏感，”他说。

李还表示：“除了咖啡店的物质损失之外，我们还必须记住那些生活和生计受到影响的人们。”

他还补充说，“每个摊位背后都是辛勤工作的个人和家庭，他们需要一些时间来清理并重新开始”。

他说：“我向咖啡店老板、所有摊主、他们的员工以及所有受此不幸事件影响的人们表示慰问。”

据报道，这是 2026 年第三起咖啡店火灾，此前 5 月份后港一家咖啡店发生火灾，3 月份滑铁卢街一座著名寺庙附近也发生过一起。

新加坡民防部队在2月份发布的年度统计报告中表示，2025年火灾总数将增加3%，达到2050起，高于2024年的1990起。其中，超过一半的火灾发生在住宅楼宇。

无人照看的烹饪和电气火灾（包括电线故障或插座过载）仍然是家庭火灾的两大主要原因。
