According to the SCDF in a Facebook post on Friday evening, the fire involved Liquified Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders in a facility.
These, of course, pose an explosion hazard when subjected to high temperatures.
The fire was so huge that 35 emergency vehicles and about 120 firefighters were deployed.
Up to seven water jets, including an unmanned firefighting machine, were used to mitigate the fire.
The exploding LPG cylinders also exposed the firefighters to intense heat, as firefighters rushed to prevent it from spreading to larger LPG storage tanks nearby.

The fire was eventually brought under control at 7:30pm.
Two workers were conveyed to Singapore General Hospital, while a body was found and pronounced dead at scene by an SCDF paramedic.
The cause of fire is under investigation.
