SINGAPORE – Two loud explosions were heard in a fire that broke out at a Eunos Crescent unit on Thursday (April 7).
A 57-second-long video clip shared by Facebook user Asik Ali shows a few residents gathered at the corridor outside the burning unit.
They shouted to an elderly man who was standing outside the flat to step away as they heard a series of explosions.
A man can also be seen attempting to douse the flames with a bucket of water while thick fumes billowed out from the unit.
According to the SCDF spokesman, the fire involved discarded items located outside the unit.
About 10 residents self-evacuated from the scene and no injuries were reported.
He added that the cause of fire is under investigation.
