Car and van catch fire in MacPherson carpark: 'I was afraid vehicle might explode and hit me'
Two vehicles caught fire in a MacPherson open Housing Board carpark in the early hours of July 6.
Stomp Lou shared a video of the flames taken from a sheltered walkway.
"I heard some loud explosions outside my home at around 3:15am, looked out my window to check on the commotion and saw a really huge fire opposite my block," recounted the Stomper, who went downstairs to record the video.
"I was standing very close to the fire. I was afraid that the vehicle might explode and hit me."
In response to a Stomp query, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at Block 23 Balam Road at about 3.25am.
The fire, which involved a van and a car, was extinguished by SCDF using a water jet and a hosereel.
There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation.
