Mysterious car fires may not occur often (at least on the public front), but make no mistake;
They are not non-existent.
Car Mysteriously Caught on Fire in AMK Carpark
On 18 September 2021, at around 2:25pm, a car that was parked in an open-air lot near Ang Mo Kio Interchange station suddenly caught fire.
A video of the incident, which reportedly took place near Block 702, has since gone viral on the net.
Apparently, smoke fumes began emanating from the front portion of the car for no reason. The mysterious phenomenon was then followed by scorching flames.
As the flames gained intensity, they began spreading to the rest of the car. It was then that a motorcyclist turned up at the scene.
Motorist Attempted to Put out Fire
Initially contemplative, the motorcyclist appeared undecided as he walked back and forth near the car. He then decided to take action as he ran forward with a fire extinguisher.
The brave individual started to put out the fire in earnest, but the damage has been done. By then, the front of the car was a complete mess.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) subsequently arrived at the scene, where firefighters used compressed air foam backpacks and dry powder fire extinguishers to eliminate the fire.
Though significant damage has been done to the vehicle in question, nobody was hurt in the process.
Investigations are currently ongoing, though the civil defence force has stated that the fire had involved the car engine.

Not The First Occurrence
This isn’t the first time that such a fire has occurred in Ang Mo Kio.
Just last year, a car caught fire at an open-air carpark in Block 201 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3.
It took place on 18 September 2020.
The fire was eventually extinguished using one water jet and three compressed air foam backpacks.
And back in 2016, a car at Block 609, Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4, had caught fire.
Several loud bangs could be heard as the car gradually devolved into a “blackened heap.”
