A fire broke out at Tampines Mall on Thursday, April 18.
Videos and photos circulating on social media show the fire coming out from what appears to be a booth at the Spring Kyushu Fair located at the first floor of the mall.
Smoke is also be seen rising to at least the third storey. The fire alarm can be heard going off in the background.
