Fire breaks out in Bukit Panjang grass field, joss paper burning cage spotted nearby
No injuries were reported.
A fire erupted in a grass field located near the intersection of Bukit Panjang Ring Road and Fajar Road on September 3, prompting the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) to respond at around 4:30pm. The SCDF successfully extinguished the blaze using a water jet, with no injuries reported. The affected area measured approximately 30 by 20 meters.
Post-fire, a video surfaced on the Complaint Singapore Facebook group, capturing SCDF and police personnel at the scene. Nearby, a burning cage for joss paper, traditionally used to burn ceremonial offerings during the Hungry Ghost Festival (running from August 13 to September 10), was spotted. The cage contained burnt joss paper, still emitting embers. Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the fire.
