The weather's been a proper scorcher today, but who knew it'd be hot enough to start a wildfire in Punggol?
Thick columns of smoke were captured on camera and uploaded on the Punggol 21 community page, showing a portion of an open field beside Block 256, Sumang Walk burning up.
According to the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) , the vegetation fire measuring 30m by 30m broke out around 1.15pm. Two fire engines, a red rhino and two fire bikes were dispatched to the scene, where they stamped out the flames with two water jets. No injuries were reported.
