SINGAPORE - A fire broke out late on Feb 5 at Orchard Towers, with videos showing a fire blazing on the mall’s carpark on the second floor.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to a fire at 1 Claymore Drive, the address of Orchard Towers, at about 10.40pm.

The fire involved a car, said SCDF.

Firefighters used a water jet and a fire blanket to extinguish the fire.

There were no reported injuries, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

A video of the incident posted to Reddit page r/SingaporeRaw shows a fire with black smoke billowing from the second floor of the mall’s carpark.

In another video, a fire engine is seen arriving at the scene, which appears hazy with smoke.

In 2018, 60 people were evacuated after a fire broke out at a bar in the mall. Another fire was reported in 2016, which led to the evacuation of 15 people.

A car caught fire at Orchard Towers on Thursday (Feb 5) evening, causing damage in the car park, according to multiple video posts on Reddit that night.

In one video uploaded by user DoraEnzo, thick black smoke can be seen billowing out from the second floor of the car park.

The second floor also glowed a visible orange hue as the fire raged on.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) told AsiaOne that it was alerted to a fire at 1 Claymore Drive at around 10.40pm that night.

A car was involved in the fire, and the SCDF subsequently extinguished the flame with a water jet and fire blanket.

No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

Porsche on fire​

Speaking with AsiaOne at the scene, a man claiming to be the owner of the vehicle shared that it was an olive green Porsche Panamera that had just come out from a workshop after he noticed issues with the car's throttle body.

The alleged owner, who declined to be named, shared that he had spent nearly $30,000 over several months while the vehicle was repeatedly sent to that workshop.

Despite informing the specialist of his feeling that something was wrong with the vehicle, the specialist purportedly brushed his concerns off.

He didn't care about the cost, however, revealing to AsiaOne that the vehicle held greater sentimental value.

The owner stated that he had always wanted to get this vehicle, and finally made the purchase when his business took off.

His son loves the vehicle, and he even had his son's birthday date on the license plate, he shared.

Orchard Towers is a very 'family-friendly' mall now, the sordid vibes a thing of the past thanks (or no thanks) to the PAP puritans.

Even a church has set up shop there.

So he was probably attending church service or is a church volunteer! I have wronged him, I need to go to Confession and ask God for forgiveness.
