According to the SCDF, coffee shop patrons and shoppers at the mall had evacuated the building before help arrived. No one was injured.

The exhaust duct is believed to be linked to the various coffee shops in the building.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.

In a separate incident, a fire at Parkway Parade on Sunday (May 15) led to a four-day closure of the mall in Marine Parade.

The mall reopened on Friday but rectification works are still ongoing as several shops and some lifts and escalators had been affected by the fire. No one was injured in the fire that broke out at a shop on level two of the mall.
