Fire breaks out at fish farm off Lorong Halus Jetty

A large-scale firefighting operation took place off Lorong Halus Jetty for more than three hours on Wednesday (Jun 24) night after a blaze broke out at a floating fish farm.

The Fish Farmers Association of Singapore said at least two fish farms rearing sea bass were affected by the fire and face substantial financial losses. According to its president, many cages were destroyed, allowing fish to escape, while parts of the farms may no longer be usable.

Authorities said no injuries were reported and that the cause of the fire is under investigation. #singapore #sgnews
