Default Fire @ Blk 513 Tampines Central 1

There was a fire at the shop beside McDonald's Tampines this morning around 0730hrs.
All shops along the stretch were cornered off by the police due to the smoke and heat.

Hi guys, I live nearby and saw the situation too. Wonder what caused it? I was there around 1200 and when I came back around 1800, it still hasn't settled down. Didn't see the fire but I figure it must have been quite huge to raze such a huge shop down. Anyone has any speculation or idea of what actually happened? Was it arson or something?

You're right. The SCDF was alerted to the incident at 06.20am.

I hope I am but I'm not.
That's why I took the photos only around 1 hour after the fire had started when I'm on the way to work.
