Three people, including two firefighters, were conveyed to hospitals following two industrial fires that broke out on the night of Apr. 2 and the early morning of Apr. 3.

First fire occurred at Eunos Avenue 6, around 70 firefighters deployed

According to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), they were alerted to the first industrial blaze along Eunos Avenue 6 at 9:15pm.

The fire affected three units along a row of terrace workshops and involved building materials and office equipment within.

A total of 19 emergency vehicles and about 70 firefighters were deployed to tackle the blaze.

SCDF added that at the height of the firefighting operation, nine water jets, an aerial water monitor and an unmanned firefighting machine were also deployed.

Roof of one of the units had collapsed

Once the fire was under control, firefighters equipped with breathing apparatus proceeded into the smoke-logged units to locate the seat of fire.

SCDF said they had to exercise "extreme caution" as the roof of one of the units had collapsed.

Two adjacent units also sustained heat and smoke damage as a result of the fire.

SCDF added that a firefighter was assessed for smoke inhalation and conveyed to Singapore General Hospital as a precautionary measure.

He has since been discharged from hospital and is currently resting at home.

There were no other reported injuries.

In addition, five people had evacuated the building prior to SCDF's arrival.

The fire was extinguished in about two hours with four water jets and two unmanned firefighting machines.
