Ms Vanny Pannesilvam, 44, who lives opposite the industrial area, said she was cooking in the morning when she saw some smoke outside her window. She went out to her corridor and saw thick black smoke coming from the industrial park. She immediately called the SCDF. A resident in the area, who wanted to be known only as Ms Phua, 23, said that she woke up at 8.45am and was about to prepare breakfast when she looked out of the window and saw thick smoke. She also saw flames coming from the industrial unit. She said: "As there are dormitories and construction sites around the area, there were many foreign workers who crowded around the scene."Source:
