Shibadog Turbocharged April 20, 2016 Share April 20, 2016 The footage is very scary. Look at the intensity of the fire. I know some people working on Jurong Island. I hope they are ok. Media reports that it may have been caused by a lightning strike. from SCDF's fb [Fire Update] The oil tank fire at 23 Tembusu Road was extinguished at 7.45pm. It has been a prolonged 5-hour operation involving approximately 150 SCDF personnel battling the raging inferno. ... SCDF surrounded and contained the fire with a large 6000 GPM foam monitor and several ground monitors. This operation was a race against time in view of the tank that has buckled and on the need to prevent the intense fire from spreading to its immediate surroundings. https://www.facebook.com/SCDFpage/posts/10153398991825583 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vratenza Supersonic April 21, 2016 Share April 21, 2016 don't quote me. minimal injuries. 1 heat exhaustion evacuated to NUH. 1 heat exhaustion treated onsite and discharged. No fatalities. Good job to SCDF boys (and girls) for putting it out quickly before it spread further afield. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watwheels Supersonic April 21, 2016 Share April 21, 2016 I wonder what caused it as it was raining yesterday. Ppl on the ground are suggesting lightning strike the oil tank during the thunderstorm. No wonder I thought I heard one abnormal thunder strike. I think it's the sound of the explosion. I was at the south part of Singapore at that time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ktglfc Hypersonic April 21, 2016 Share April 21, 2016 Luckily no one seriously injured ... Kudos to our SCDF ppl who braved the immense heat to put down the fire and prevent it from spreading to nearby tanks :) Now, is to learn from this and prevent similar fire from happening again .. especially in Jurong Island ... the consequences just too huge ... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why some idiots Stomper likes to take pictures of SCDF 'Rino' and Ambulance personnel in full uniform parking in un-authorise parking area to buy food. For me, give them the leeways lar cos they can be activated at any moment, any seconds and they could not have time to eat the food they brought but need to save other peoples life... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neost 6th Gear April 21, 2016 Share April 21, 2016 heard it was caused by lighting... Really unbelievable. The kind of asset on the island both in terms of value and danger, I thot it should be the safest place from lighting strike Of all the potential fire starters, lighting should be the least likely in my view 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or no $$$ to install? Heard this tank belongs to Jurong Aromatics which is in receivership (they only in business for like 1 month )then bankrupt already. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
