The clip unfortunately cuts off before showing that help was rendered to the situation.

According to Yahoo News, bystanders have reported seeing “SCDF…and police vehicles” arrive on the scene to assist everyone affected.

We’re sure help came quickly

Some netizens were quick to point out that the onlookers really should have been making their way safely out of the building instead of filming the fire.

We know that our firefighters will help extinguish the flames swiftly, and sincerely hope no one – including SCDF and police personnel – gets hurt in the process.
