SINGAPORE – A fire broke out at a construction site in the Whampoa area on Saturday (Jan 21) but no one was injured.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to a fire at a construction site at 78 Lorong Limau at about 1.40pm.

There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
SCDF sent one fire engine, two Red Rhinos, and four support vehicles to the scene.
