Fire at Grand Hyatt Hotel
By Diana Othman
A FIRE broke out in an office on the mezzanine floor of the Grand Hyatt Singapore hotel on Sunday afternoon, but it was quickly doused by an in-house fire-fighting team.
The blaze was largely contained in the room, which is near the hotel's staff canteen.

About 100 staff and guests walked out of the hotel upon hearing the alarm.
According to STOMP, the fire broke out at the Grand Hyatt Hotel at Scotts Road in a small staff canteen office. The fire was discovered and put out by the hotel's fire-fighting team using a hose reel. No one was hurt in the blaze.
A spokesperson for the SCDF provided STOMP with more details:
"The SCDF received the call at 2.30 pm.
"The fire involved the staff canteen office, a small compartment about 2m x 1m.
"The SCDF dispatched one fire engine, one support vehicle and an ambulance to the scene.
"The fire was put out by the hotel's firefighting team using a hose reel before the SCDF arrived. The SCDF assisted by conducting ventilation to clear the premises of smoke.
"100 people were evacuated from the building, primarily hotel staff and a few guests.
"No one was conveyed to the hospital."
Here's what STOMPer valkyrie13, who was at the scene of the fire, had to say:
"At around 2.30pm today (Feb 15), thick smoke filled the area beside Grand Hyatt Hotel.
"We noticed that a fire had broken out - coming from the hotel building.
"Within minutes, the SCDF arrived and the situation was under control."
