Everything About The Massive Tuas Fire On A Toxic Industrial Waste Collector That Occurred This Morning (11 Dec)

Is it just me or are fires happening increasingly often in West Singapore?

Just recently, an elderly woman died one month after an accident involving fire that a company allegedly tried to cover up.

The incident involved a dramatic rescue and hose reel cabinets that were locked and had no water.

Today, it’s with regards to a massive fire that broke out at a building in Tuas Crescent this Wednesday morning.
