A large fire, which the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) says was the size of a football field, engulfed the vegetation around the Chinese cemetery at Lim Chu Kang on 15 Oct.
Several TikTok users posted videos of the fire.
One of the videos went particularly viral amidst some users’ claims that there seemed to be a “white figure” standing there.
However, it’s likely that the users were looking at a bus stop sign.
SCDF said it put out the fire using two hoses and there were no injuries reported.

The video also shows a police car, as well as a bus stop.
Oddly enough, a few users in the comments claimed they could see a “white figure” in the video, hinting at some paranormal activity, but this is unconfirmed.
Others were also sceptical that the OP had posted a new video as there was a similar fire that took place at a Lim Chu Kang cemetery back in 2019.
However, the OP countered that the fire did occur on 15 Oct.
Another video shared by @mxhdnx offers a closer look at the scene.
The fire appears to have involved vegetation and covered a large swath of the land.

In response to media queries by MS News, SCDF said they were alerted at around 7.25pm on 15 Oct to the fire near Chinese Cemetery Path 13.
Firefighters used two hose reels to extinguish the fire, which was approximately the size of one football field.
No injuries were reported.
At the moment, the cause of the fire is under investigation.
There has seemingly been a spate of fires near vegetation this month. One occurred in Pasir Ris and another in Tampines.
Speaking to The Straits Times (ST), NParks noted that we can help prevent such fires by not smoking or littering in green spaces.
However, the cause of these fires is still to be determined.
