A rubbish truck caught fire on Bedok Reservoir Road on Tuesday (Oct 20).
In a Facebook post shared on the same day, an image shows rubbish piled along the roadside, with smoke billowing from the contents.
A Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) vehicle could also be seen behind the truck.
According to the poster, cardboard in the truck caught fire, prompting the contents to be unloaded onto the road for firefighters to extinguish the blaze.
At least two lanes appeared to be closed to traffic as a result of the incident.
Responding to queries from AsiaOne, the SCDF said it was alerted to the fire at the junction of Bedok Reservoir Road and Bedok Reservoir View at about 12.40pm.
The fire involved the contents of a rubbish truck and was extinguished using two water jets.
There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
