Responders swiftly mobilised to the scene and brought the fire under control. The cause of the incident is currently under investigation.
No injuries were sustained as a result of the fire. The SCDF continues to advise residents to exercise caution when in proximity to vegetation and to report any signs of fire immediately by calling the emergency hotline.
