"I am unsure of what was happening at Henderson Crescent, but there was a burning smell," the Stomper shared.

In response to a Stomp query, a spokesman for SCDF said they were alerted to the fire at 3.20pm.

"SCDF conducted a forced entry into the 24th floor unit using a hydraulic tool to reach the fire, which involved contents of the kitchen," said SCDF.
