About 40 people were evacuated after a fire broke out in a flat at Block 111 Bedok Reservoir Road on Friday evening (Aug 7).

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to a fire involving the contents of a bedroom in a fourth-floor unit at around 7.10pm.

A Stomper shared with Stomp a video showing flames coming from a bedroom as a crowd looks on.

 

 

"Thankfully there were no casualties," she said.

"The affected flat is a corner unit where an elderly couple live.

"I am their next-door neighbour."

Photos of the aftermath of the fire were posted on SG Chinese Community's Facebook page.
