Fire breaks out at battery recycling plant in Tuas

A fire broke out at a battery recycling plant in Tuas on the evening of Oct 27.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted at about 9.10pm to the fire at 8 Tuas South Lane.

According to Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao, the fire occurred at a warehouse that belongs to e-waste and battery recycling company KGS.

SCDF said black smoke was seen coming from a single-storey building in the premises when firefighters arrived.

They forcefully entered the building to put out the fire with two water jets, SCDF said, adding that the fire involved e-waste stored in an area measuring about 20m by 10m.

There were no reported injuries.

“Preliminary findings indicate that the fire is likely caused by an electrical origin from the e-waste,” SCDF said.
