The Straits Times reported that a fire broke out at a Downtown Line 2 (DTL2) worksite along Woodlands Road yesterday morning shortly before 3:00am, sending plumes of grey smoke over the surrounding housing estates.
Residents in nearby flats said the fire appeared to have started underground, and they could see billowing smoke, which they described as acrid and 'haze-like'.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) sent three fire engines, a Red Rhino, an ambulance and five support vehicles to the scene. The fire, which involved wooden materials, was put out in half an hour using three water jets. No injuries were reported.
According to the Land Transport Authority (LTA), the fire was confined to a 'localised area' and will not impact the construction of DTL2.
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said it has issued a stop work order for the affected area within the site while it works with the SCDF to investigate the cause of the blaze.
