A staff room at ITE Dover College was gutted in an early morning
blaze, but no one was injured.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it received a
call at 6am on Sunday informing it of a fire at the
site.
Upon the officers' arrival, the fire was found raging in the staff room, located on the second floor of the
four-storey building.
SCDF officers managed to bring the fire under control in about 20
minutes, but the staff room
sustained extensive damage.
In a statement, ITE said, structural engineers have declared the
building to be structurally safe.
It added that affected staff will be relocated to temporary work
areas within the College.
Classes at the campus will be suspended tomorrow and will resume on
Tuesday.
The cause of the fire is being investigated.
