A fire broke out at an industrial building in Sungei Kadut on Wednesday (Jan 7) evening.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said in a Facebook post that it was alerted to a fire at 14 Sungei Kadut Avenue at about 6.40pm.

Checks by AsiaOne show that the location is a four-storey building occupied by Da Di Glass Private Limited, a glass production company.

According to the company's website, they moved to the address in 2013. 

In a second update just before 9pm, SCDF said that the production area on the second-floor of the building was on fire when firefighters arrived at the scene.

"Firefighters deployed three water jets to contain the fire within the workshop," it added.

The blaze was extinguished at about 8pm.

About 30 people from the building self-evacuated before firefighters arrived.

One person was taken to Singapore General Hospital for smoke inhalation.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
