One person was rescued after a fire broke out in a flat at Block 469 Admiralty Drive on Sept 3.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said in a Facebook post that firefighters from Yishun Fire Station, supported by Woodlands Fire Station, responded to the fire at around 2.35pm.
Firefighters entered the smoke-filled unit on the fourth floor to conduct firefighting operations.
"The fire, which was confined to the kitchen area, was extinguished with a water jet," said SCDF.
"As a result of the fire, the living room sustained heat and smoke damage."
"While the firefighting operation was ongoing, firefighters searched the unit and found a person in one of the bedrooms. The person was rescued out of the unit."
The rescued person was assessed for smoke inhalation and taken to Singapore General Hospital.
About 50 people from the affected block were evacuated by the police as a precautionary measure.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
