A fire broke out at a semi-detached house in Kovan on Saturday (Sept 5) afternoon.
Residents in the area told AsiaOne they heard what sounded like an explosion at about 3pm.
When AsiaOne reached the scene just after 5pm, thick smoke could still be seen billowing out from the property.
It could be observed from about 450m away on Hougang Avenue 2.
At least four police fast response cars, two fire engines, one combined platform ladder, one light fire attack vehicle, and an ambulance were present at the scene.
Firefighters used a grass patch outside a low-rise private residential apartment as a staging area, and they were seen entering the scene donning breathing apparatus.
