Sengkang
construction site catches fire; no injuries reported
SINGAPORE: A fire at a construction site in Sengkang sent black
plumes of smoke into the sky Friday afternoon (Nov 27). No injuries
were reported.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said they were alerted to the
incident near Block 334B Anchorvale Crescent, at about 5.50pm. When
SCDF arrived, the flames had already been put out by workers who
used several fire extinguishers.
According to SCDF, contents located near a void deck at the site
had ignited, causing the fire. SCDF sent two fire engines, two
support vehicles, a fire bike and a red rhino to the
scene.
A Channel NewsAsia viewer who identified herself as Isabel Chia
sent in photos of the incident, saying that she could see smoke
from her 23rd-floor unit at Fernvale Road.
