Recycling bin goes up in flames in Sengkang, Stomper grabs hose as fire spreads towards plantsA Sengkang resident sprang into action after spotting a recycling bin engulfed in flames at the foot of his block on Aug 10. Stomper Gabriel said he first realised something was amiss when he noticed that the wall of his block looked “unusually bright”. Footage shared with Stomp shows flames tearing through the recycling bin, with parts of it appearing to melt from the heat. He opened the bin chute shutter, grabbed a hose and began spraying water at the flames. “The fire involved the contents of a recycling bin at the ground floor,” an SCDF spokesperson said.
