Though tongues of flames towered and thick smoke could be seen from as far as Dhoby Ghaut, the blaze was quickly extinguished by 6.15pm, using just two water jets. So much for the spectacle.
Developer GuocoLand Group reported no casualties during the incident, with all their workers accounted for. The cause of the fire is currently under investigations.
