There were no injuries reported, but there were people from inside the building when the fire broke out, and they were understood to have been evacuated safely by the firefighters on the scene. Videos and photos of the fire have gone viral, showing the huge fire that consumed the two shophouses. Some Netizens responded to the posts online on the fire by indicating that the area of Geylang is known for having hot girls walking the street, so the fire might have occurred due to the hot and fiery nature of the area.
