SINGAPORE: About 50 firefighters took around two hours to extinguish a blaze that broke out in the early hours of Tuesday (July 23) at a warehouse in Seletar.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was alerted to the fire at 21 Seletar West Farmway 1 at about 2.35am, the agency said in a Facebook post later that day.
The fire involved a single-storey warehouse, measuring about 30m by 20m, that contained an office and scaffolding material.
It was extinguished with three water jets and an unmanned firefighting machine. Ten emergency vehicles were also deployed to fight the fire.
No injuries were reported, said SCDF, adding that it was damping down the affected area.
Damping down, which is the application of water to wet burnt surfaces immediately after a fire has been put out, is carried out to ensure that deep-seated embers are fully extinguished to prevent any rekindling of the fire.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. - The Straits Times/ANN
