SINGAPORE - A fire broke out in a Housing Board flat in Woodlands on Friday (Sept 22) evening, charring the outside of the unit.

The fire occurred in the living room of a flat in Block 886B, Woodlands Drive 50, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told The Straits Times.

Facebook user Normia Abdullah posted a photo of the block at 7.22pm, saying there was a fire next to her block.
