Fire at Enviro-Hub Holdings warehouse in Tuas extinguished after seven-hour operation

A fire broke out at an industrial warehouse in Tuas in the early hours of 12 June, 2026, prompting a large-scale firefighting operation that lasted about seven hours.

Singapore Exchange-listed Enviro-Hub Holdings said in a statement published the same day that the fire had occurred at the company's premises at 3 Gul Crescent.

The location is primarily used as the group's office and for warehousing and electronic waste recycling activities, the company said.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at about 3am. Some 80 firefighters and 20 emergency vehicles were deployed at the height of the operation.

The fire involved waste materials and chemicals contained within a warehouse roughly the size of a football field, SCDF said.

Firefighters surrounded the affected warehouse with seven water jets, two firefighting machines and two aerial monitors to contain the blaze.

SCDF said the fire was extinguished at about 10am. As a precautionary measure, the agency conducted monitoring at the scene and did not detect any hazardous substances.

Damping-down operations, intended to prevent the fire from rekindling, were expected to continue through the day, SCDF added.

There were no reported injuries. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Building damage assessed

In response to queries, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) said it was informed about a fire involving two adjoining single-storey industrial buildings at about 5am.

Portions of the steel roof across both buildings have collapsed, a BCA spokesperson said.

BCA has issued orders to the building owner to close off the affected buildings for further assessment due to fire damage.

The authority has also instructed the building owner to appoint a professional engineer to carry out detailed investigations and recommend permanent rectification measures to ensure building safety.

Rise in industrial fires

The incident comes against a backdrop of rising industrial fire incidents in Singapore.

There were 125 fires at industrial premises in 2025, an increase of 27.5 per cent from 98 fires in 2024, according to SCDF's latest annual statistics report.

These fires were among 471 fire calls at non-residential premises that SCDF responded to in 2025, up from 415 calls the previous year.

Fires of electrical origin accounted for 43.5 per cent of fires at non-residential premises in 2025, SCDF said.
