SINGAPORE, Aug 4 — About 50 residents were evacuated from a public housing block in Telok Blangah as a precautionary measure, after a fire ravaged a flat there yesterday morning.

When SCDF personnel arrived, the fire was raging and thick black smoke was seen coming out from a flat on the 11th floor. “As a result of the fire, the entire unit was affected by heat and smoke damage. Damping down operations are ongoing,” SCDF said, referring to the process of applying water to wet burnt surfaces after a fire is put out to prevent a potential rekindling.

In a video posted on Facebook by a user named “Mizanur Rahman”, a fire can be seen engulfing a flat as thick black smoke billows out from it, coating the exterior walls of the Housing and Development block with black soot.
