SINGAPORE — A fire broke out at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) on Tuesday, likely due to welding works.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at 1 Bayfront Avenue at about 3.40pm.

The fire involved a plastic mat on the 55th floor of MBS Hotel Tower 3, and was extinguished by MBS staff using a hose reel before SCDF’s arrival.

There were no reported injuries.

A spokesperson for MBS said the fire was a small one and occurred in a location not accessible by guests.

“We are working closely with the authorities to investigate this incident,” the spokesperson added.

Business operations were not impacted, MBS said. — THE STRAITS TIMES/ANN
