SINGAPORE – About 50 people were evacuated after a fire broke out at a warehouse in the Jurong industrial area on the afternoon of Sept 8, with firefighters still on the scene working to extinguish the blaze completely more than four hours later.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at 10 Penjuru Road at about noon, and that the blaze involved a warehouse within the premises.
Checks by The Straits Times show that the address is that of an MFT-GXO logistics warehouse.
Further checks show that companies housed at the site include dormitory operator Yeo’s Bro Management; construction and engineering equipment rental company Heng Yew Engineering & Construction; and shipbuilding and repair firm Apex Offshore & Engineering.
In a Facebook post at about 1.30pm, SCDF said firefighters were working to put out the fire, which was confined to the warehouse, using four water jets and a firefighting machine.
About 50 people were evacuated from the premises before SCDF officers arrived at the scene, with no injuries reported.
