Video footage of a fire in a HDB unit in Serangoon has been circulating online.
Black smoke is seen rising into the air from a second-floor window, as passers-by on the ground floor walk past the unit hastily.
The affected unit at Block 214, Serangoon Ave 4, looks out to the main road, Yio Chu Kang Link, and a bus stop, which can be seen on the left side of the video.
Fire at around 8pm, Mar. 2
SCDF, responding to queries from Mothership, said that it was alerted to the fire at around 8pm on Mar. 2, Tuesday.
The fire involved the contents of a bedroom, and was extinguished using a water-jet, said SCDF.
No injuries were reported, and about 20 people self-evacuated prior to SCDF's arrival.
Mothership understands that the affected unit was a two-storey shophouse unit.
The ground-floor shops directly below the windows of the affected unit are an art school and an optical shop.
