Updates:

Around 6.35pm: Fire broke out at an apartment unit on the 7th Storey of Ava Tower at Balestier. Prior to the fire, a hugh explosion could be heard metres away.

[P.S: I was about to have my dinner somewhere along those Coffee Shop at Balestier Road when i heard the deafening explosion follow by sounds of shattering glass from afar. When i turned my head and look, i could see a cloud of black smoke coming from a nearby building.]

Around 6.40pm: Residents in the entire block was evacuated.

Somewhere around 6.42pm - 6.45pm: 1 fire engine arrived. Follow by another fire engine which arrives minutes later.

7pm: Roads leading to the tower was closed by the Traffic Police. NPC Police directed hundreds of onlookers who was near the building further down the road.

7.20pm: Ambulance arrived.

7.50pm: Fire was completely extinguished. At around the same time, a women can be seen being ushered into the ambulance, possibly from smoke inhalation???
