In a Facebook post at about 8.50pm, SCDF said that it was alerted to the fire at Block 222 Lorong 8 Toa Payoh and that firefighting operations were ongoing.
In a subsequent post at about 9.50pm, SCDF said the fire was extinguished with one water jet and that damping down operations were ongoing.
"Upon SCDF’s arrival, the fire was raging and thick black smoke was emitting from a unit on the 3rd floor. SCDF firefighters conducted forcible entry into the affected unit."
The 50 residents were evacuated as a "precautionary measure", said SCDF.
Singapore Police Force (SPF) officers were at the scene and assisted with the evacuation.

A CNA reader, who declined to be named, said the fire started at about 8.10pm.
"I was in my room. I (smelled) smoke before being (alerted) that there was a fire happening," she said.
"I thought it was just for the (Hungry Ghost Festival) prayers, but I (noticed) the smoke was really distinct and coming into my room through the window."
