SINGAPORE — One person suffered minor burns after a fire broke out at a 24-hour coffee shop in Yishun in the wee hours of Thursday (Aug 31).
The person declined to be taken to the hospital, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said in response to queries from TODAY.
It added that it was alerted to the fire at Block 848 Yishun Street 81 at about 2.10am on Thursday. Some 19 people had evacuated themselves from the premises before firefighters arrived.
The coffee shop, with 22 stalls, was sold for S$40 million in June last year and is now owned by Chang Cheng Group.
In its statement, SCDF said that the fire “involved contents of a kitchen” located inside a coffee shop on the first floor.
Its personnel extinguished the flames using a water jet.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
In a video posted on TikTok, flames could be seen on the roof of the building with plumes of smoke coming out.
A fire engine is seen arriving on the scene some time after, with firefighters using a water jet to put out the flames.
Several police officers are also seen at what appears to be the back of the coffee shop.
TODAY has reached out to Chang Cheng Group for comment.
