SCDF officers arrived promptly at the scene and began firefighting operations.
They deployed four water jets strategically around the affected area to contain and combat the flames.
The firefighting effort lasted about an hour before SCDF personnel successfully extinguished the fire, preventing it from spreading to other parts of the building or neighboring properties.
Six individuals had evacuated from the premises prior to SCDF’s arrival. No one was trapped inside the building during the incident.
Paramedics on site conducted health assessments and found that two people had suffered from smoke inhalation.
However, both individuals declined further medical attention and chose not to be transported to the hospital.
