The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) successfully contained and extinguished a fire that broke out at 61 Yishun Industrial Park A earlier this evening. The incident involved two workshop units located on the sixth floor of a six-story industrial building. There were no reported injuries in the incident.
20 emergency vehicles activated
Upon receiving the alert, approximately 80 SCDF officers and 20 emergency vehicles were swiftly deployed to the scene. The firefighters’ prompt response and coordinated efforts helped prevent the fire from spreading further.
The firefighting operation reached its peak intensity as SCDF personnel used two water jets to combat the blaze from within the affected building.
Simultaneously, two aerial water monitors were strategically deployed to contain the fire from the exterior, preventing it from spreading to other parts of the industrial complex.
2 workshops on fire
The fire primarily affected the two workshop units, where it was fueled by the presence of furniture and alcohol products. However, the SCDF managed to successfully extinguish the fire by 10 pm.
The SCDF then conducted a damping down operation on the affected floor to ensure the fire remained completely under control and to prevent any potential re-ignition.
SCDF has reported that there were no injuries resulting from the incident, and the cause of the fire is now under investigation, as authorities work to determine the origin and circumstances surrounding the incident.
