Adrianli Hypersonic February 23, 2017 Author Share February 23, 2017 . (Photo: SCDF) In an update at 9.49am, SCDF said it had deployed about 200 responders to the site of the fire along with nine fire engines, five Red Rhinos, four unmanned firefighting machines, 15 support vehicles and an ambulance. The fire involves chemical waste and flammable materials, it added. "Periodic explosions could be heard as firefighters battle the blaze to contain it within the affected premises. SCDF is also applying foam to suppress the fire in the drains within the immediate vicinity." (Photo: SCDF) The Singapore Police Force confirmed the fire had been reported and said Tuas South Ave 3 and Tuas View Crescent were closed. The public is advised to avoid the area, the authorities added. When Channel NewsAsia arrived on the scene at 9.50am, there was an acrid chemical smell in the air. An extensive cordon had been established around the area extending to Tuas South Avenues 3,7,8 and 9, with SCDF personnel preventing people from getting any closer. StarHub mobile subscribers within the immediate vicinity of the fire incident would have received an advisory message urging members of public to stay away from the area, SCDF added. Marine and offshore manufacturer Pride-Chem, which is situated nearby, told Channel NewsAsia at 9.15am that the fire has been "contained" and it looks like "SCDF has it under control". Chemicals company Framo Singapore located across the road from the fire said its staff had been evacuated to a staging area, with masks distributed as a precautionary measure.
