A fire broke out at the lift lobby of Block 696 Hougang Street 61 in the early hours of Wednesday morning (Feb 13).
Stomper Yamin, a resident at the block, alerted Stomp to the incident and shared a video he took at the scene.
"I heard a loud bang as I was walking home," he told Stomp in a phone interview.
"I then rushed to see what had happened.
"Several pieces of debris had scattered around the area.
"Another resident was there with a fire extinguisher trying to put out the flames.
"The fire was quite big before I started recording."
In the video, smoke can be seen filling the void deck of the block.
