Overview
- A fire broke out on the Eagle Wings III, a roughly 112-foot superyacht used for private charters, at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove on Sunday, June 7.
- Marina staff activated their on-site emergency response and alerted the Singapore Civil Defence Force, which deployed land-based water jets and a Rapid Response Marine Vessel to fight the blaze.
- SCDF reported the fire was under control and that there were no reported injuries as firefighters continued to apply water and damp down the yacht.
- Eyewitnesses and reader photos showed thick black smoke and at least one witness told reporters the marine firefighting vessel arrived about 90 minutes after the fire began, a timeline that differs from SCDF’s account.
- Investigations into the fire’s cause are ongoing and authorities are working with the marina; reporting recalled a 2018 ONE°15 Marina blaze that hospitalised people, raising broader safety concerns for chartered events.
