Rubbish truck catches fire at Woodlands block
A rubbish truck caught fire near a Woodlands block on Friday (June 9).
The burning vehicle was so close to the block's refuse chamber that Stomper Johan thought the rubbish chute caught fire.
Sharing photos of a fire engine and a blue rubbish truck, the Stomper said: "Police came and SCDF (Singapore Civil Defence Force) extinguished the fire without any issue."
In response to a Stomp query, SCDF said it was alerted to a fire at the common driveway of Block 630 Woodlands Ring Road at about 11:25am.
The fire involved the contents in the rear compartment of a rubbish truck and was extinguished using two water jets and a hosereel.
There were no reported injuries, said SCDF.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
