A recycling truck caught fire at a HDB block in Tampines on Saturday (March 14). The incident happened at about 6.40pm near Block 319 Tampines Street 33. Videos of the incident posted on social media showed flames burning through the roof of the collection tank — mounted at the rear of the truck — belonging to waste management company 800 Super. Firefighters from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) were seen using a water jet to cool the tank. As the fire smouldered, the truck driver was seen unloading the contents of the tank onto the driveway as officers sieved through the recyclable waste to put out the flames. Firefighting operations appeared to have extended past sunset with another video showing officers still conducting dampening down after the skies turned dark.Responding to AsiaOne's queries, SCDF said the fire involved the rear compartment of a recycling truck and officers extinguished the fire using a water jet. There were no reported injuries and investigations are ongoing. [[nid:731455]]editor@asiaone.com
