SINGAPORE: A fire broke out at Orchard Plaza on Monday evening
(Dec 21).
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told TODAY that it was
alerted to the fire at 6.50pm. It took place at the building’s B2
carpark, the SCDF said, and involved discarded items.
The fire was extinguished by the building’s security guards
before the SCDF arrived. No injuries were reported.
Orchard Plaza was not evacuated during the fire, the SCDF
said.
This incident counts as one of several incidents happening along
Orchard Road this month, among them the collapse of the false
ceiling at the Hilton Hotel and the Christmas tree fire outside the
Knightsbridge Orchard building.
