"Mr Lawrence Tan, a resident living on the ninth floor with his wife and two-year-old grandson, said that he detected a "fishy" rubber smell around 1pm. After leaving his flat, he encountered a lady in her 40s running down from the 10th floor seeking help.

It was her house that had caught fire, and she claimed that it started from the clothes dryer in the kitchen, Mr Tan said.

"I helped her to call 995 and we knocked on the doors on the ninth floor before taking the lift down," said the 74-year-old added."

Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) firefighters have been able to bring the fire in the 10th-floor unit under control, but were still fighting the fire in the 11th-floor flat as of 3.22pm.

"The fire in the 10th-floor unit has been brought under control with two water jets," SCDF said in a Facebook post.

"Firefighters conducted forcible entry into a unit on the 11th floor and are currently fighting a fire in the unit."

Wah damn suay, 11th floor unit also burnt. Poor people.

SINGAPORE: Firefighting operations are underway in Toa Payoh on Tuesday (Jul 29) after a blaze broke out in a Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the incident at Block 229 Toa Payoh Lorong 8 at about 1.10pm.

"SCDF is currently at the scene conducting a firefighting operation," it said in a Facebook post.

Footage showed thick smoke billowing out of several windows of the unit, with a few window frames mangled from the heat.

The smoke could also be seen from the nearby Central Expressway.

Videos from a CNA reader showed a cordon at the block with several SCDF officers on the scene.
