Mountain of rubbish seen after recycling truck catches fire at Anchorvale Link
A recycling truck caught on fire in Sengkang on Feb 17, the first day of Chinese New Year.
Stomper Shals shared videos he took of the blue recycling truck near Block 302C Anchorvale Link at about 4.30pm.
A large pile of rubbish is seen on the ground next to the truck. Two fire engines later arrive at the scene.
"The fire may have been caused by a battery that combusted in the truck," said the Stomper.
In response to a Stomp query, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at 3.55pm.
The fire involved discarded items in the truck, an SCDF spokesperson said.
It was extinguished using a hose reel.
There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
