Car catches fire along Sims Avenue
The incident resulted in the front half of the car to be damaged, Channel NewsAsia understands.
SINGAPORE: A vehicle travelling along Sims Avenue caught fire on Thursday (Nov 6) morning. No injuries were reported, said the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).
SCDF said it was alerted to the fire at 7am, and dispatched a fire engine, a Red Rhino, and two fire bikes to the scene. The fire was extinguished using a compressed air foam system and a water jet, it added.
The incident resulted in the front half of the car – which appears to be a silver Mercedes Benz from pictures posted by a Twitter user – to be damaged, Channel NewsAsia understands.
SCDF also said it hopes to reiterate the preventive measures members of public can take to reduce the possibility of similar scenarios happening. The public is advised to the following:
Service your vehicle regularly at authorised vehicle workshops.
During each servicing session, ensure that the vehicle’s electrical, engine and fuel systems are checked for any defect.
Outside of scheduled servicing period, owners are encouraged to conduct visual checks for any sign of oil leakage.
