SINGAPORE — A fire broke out at Chinatown Point at about 3pm on Sunday (March 5), filling the mall’s atrium with smoke.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said the fire, which involved the electrical wiring of an escalator on the third floor, was extinguished using a water jet. No one was injured.
Mr John Ho, who was at the scene, posted a video on Facebook at 3.10pm along with a comment that he could not see a fire even though there was "lots of smoke".
He was evacuated shortly after.
