One person died in the fire that broke out at Robinson Road this morning (see report below). Singapore Civil Defence Force found the body of a woman, who was pronouced dead at the scene.

Officers brought the fire under control within 30 minutes and took another half an hour to extinguish it.
Tenants at the seven-storey Afro Asia building, which houses many trading companies, have reportedly been told by the building management to return on Monday.
Fire breaks out at Robinson Road
A unit in Afro Asia building was on fire earlier this morning.
Smoke was seen billowing from the sixth-floor unit of the building which is located at 63 Robinson Road.
According to netizens who were at the scene, Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) personnel rushed to put out the blaze and managed to bring the fire under control.
The officers also sealed off traffic to the SGX Centre building and DBS Building on Maccallum Street.
In a written statement to AsiaOne, the police said Mccallum Street (between Shenton Way and Robinson Road), Boon Tat Link and Maxwell Link have been closed because of the fire.
Traffic Police officers will be at the affected roads to divert and regulate traffic and motorists are informed to follow the directions of Traffic Police officers.
Members of the public are advised to avoid the affected areas. The roads will be re-opened after the incident has been settled.
In an email to citizen journalism Stomp Timothy S said:
"Frazzled-looking SCDF firefighters hesitant to enter Afro-Asia Building.
"They're trying to aim jets of water into the unit from the ground but they are missing."
The SCDF could not give AsiaOne any information just yet. Please check back with us for more updates.
