Some 50 people were evacuated after a fire broke out at a warehouse in Jurong at about 12pm on Tuesday (Sept 8).
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said in two Facebook posts that the fire, confined to the warehouse measuring about 20 metres by 10 metres, involved used household items stored inside.
It added that five water jets and a firefighting machine have been deployed to tackle the blaze.
Thick black smoke could be seen about 700m away on the Ayer Rajah Expressway.
At least three fire engines, one combined platform ladder (CPL) and a light fire attack vehicle are present at the scene.
Firefighters were conducting aerial firefighting using a CPL to prevent further spread of the fire.
A man from the warehouse told AsiaOne that he and fellow workers were inside when the fire started outside the premises.
He added that by the time they got to a fire extinguisher, the fire had spread uncontrollably.
No injuries were reported as at 1.55pm.
Firefighting operation is ongoing.
周二(9月8日)中午12点左右,裕廊一处仓库发生火灾,约50人被疏散。
新加坡民防部队(SCDF)在两篇脸书帖子中表示,火灾被控制在一个长约 20 米、宽约 10 米的仓库内,起火物品为存放在里面的旧家用物品。
声明还补充说,已部署五辆水炮车和一辆消防车扑灭大火。
在亚逸拉惹高速公路约700米外可以看到浓浓的黑烟。
现场至少有三辆消防车、一辆组合式云梯车和一辆轻型消防车。
消防员使用CPL进行空中灭火,以防止火势进一步蔓延。
仓库里的一名男子告诉AsiaOne,他和工友们当时都在仓库里,火灾是从仓库外面开始的。
他还补充说,等他们找到灭火器时,火势已经无法控制地蔓延开来。
截至下午1点55分,没有人员受伤的报告。
消防行动仍在进行中。
