An eighth-floor unit of a Sengkang condominium, Compass Heights, caught fire earlier today (Apr. 26).
The fire involved the contents of one of the unit's bedrooms, and caused its window panes to shatter, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) in a post on Facebook.
One of the photos in the post showed a firefighter in protective gear hosing down the charred bedroom after the fire had been extinguished.
