One person was taken to hospital after a fire broke out at the open area of an industrial building in Aljunied on Tuesday (March 17) afternoon.
The incident happened at about 12.40pm at 627 Aljunied Road.
Mogan Kannish, 60, a chief security officer at an adjacent building, told AsiaOne that he heard at least two explosions. He said he triggered the fire alarm as he was concerned that the fire could spread and affect the people working there.
Leon Tan, 33, who works in an adjacent building, recalled his colleague telling him that there was smoke near the windows.
“It (fire) looked quite big. We also heard some explosions…It sounded like a heavy object dropped down, so it was quite loud,” Tan said.
Other eyewitnesses whom AsiaOne spoke to pointed out that some debris had flown across the fencing during the explosions.
