About 50 evacuated as firefighters tackle blaze at warehouse in Penjuru Road

A fire broke out at a logistics warehouse located at 10 Penjuru Road in Singapore's Jurong industrial area on September 8. Approximately 50 people were evacuated from the premises, though no injuries were reported. Firefighters worked for over four hours to fully extinguish the blaze, using multiple water jets and a firefighting machine. The fire originated in a warehouse housing several companies, including a dormitory operator, construction equipment rental firm, and a shipbuilding company. The fire involved used household items stored in the warehouse, which measured approximately 20 meters by 10 meters. Public transport services were temporarily rerouted due to road closures. Authorities confirmed that the fire was largely extinguished by late afternoon, but damping down operations continued to prevent rekindling. The incident occurred amid a rise in industrial fires in Singapore, with a 27.5 percent increase in such incidents from 2024 to 2025.
