Three cars caught fire at a carpark in the Marine Parade area on July 24, with the fire also damaging other cars.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force said it was alerted to the fire at 35A Marine Crescent at about 3.10pm that day.
The fire on the second level of the multi-storey carpark was extinguished with two water jets.
No injuries were reported. Based on preliminary findings, the three cars were not electric vehicles, said the SCDF.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC MP Goh Pei Ming thanked the emergency services for swiftly containing and putting out the fire.
He said in a Facebook post on July 24 that the Marine Parade Town Council will begin cleaning up once the area has been cleared, with HDB officers also inspecting the affected areas for required repairs.
