A fire broke out at an office in the Defu Lane industrial estate
this morning.
A hotline caller Mr Phua was working in the area when he heard the
fire alarm.
"I saw that there's a heavy smoke coming out from one of the unit.
I know the fourth floor they usually deal with plastic material,
because the smoke smell that emanated resembled burning
plastic."
The Civil Defence Force received a call just before 10
am.
Firefighters arrived at the scene within minutes and managed to put
out the fire in 10 minutes.
An SCDF spokesperson told MediaCorp that the unit was locked up and
empty.
There were no casualties but occupants at the block were evacuated
as a
safety precaution.
The cause of the fire is being investigated.
