According to a statement by the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), it was alerted to the second fire at Block 236 Jurong East Street 21 at about 5am yesterday.
It was found that the fire had started in one of the bedrooms of the four-room flat, likely reignited by deep-seated embers within the rubble.
Firefighters used a water jet to extinguish the flames.
When The Straits Times arrived at the scene at about 1.30pm, SCDF operations were still ongoing.
Cleaners were seen carrying debris from the fire, including burnt furniture and fans, out of the unit.
A resident living on the floor below the affected unit, who wanted to be known only as Mrs Lim, 44, said she could detect the smell of smoke at about 5am yesterday.
