A video widely circulated on TikTok showed a bunk covered in soot, while a man was seen using a water hose. Overturned mattresses, exposed electrical wiring and a blackened ceiling can be seen in the video.
The video caption indicated that it was Viper company that had been affected, but MINDEF did not confirm this.
The ministry said that the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) is assisting the Singapore Civil Defence Force in investigating the cause of the fire.
“The SAF remains committed to upholding high standards of fire safety to ensure a safe environment for our service personnel. As the investigation is ongoing, we are unable to provide further comments at this juncture,” the spokesperson said.
