A car caught fire on Tampines Expressway (TPE) towards Seletar Expressway (SLE) at about 10.45pm on Tuesday (Aug 4), near Lorong Halus exit.<\/p>\n
Videos of the incident posted on social media show flames at the bonnet of the white car.<\/p>\n
Another video shows a police fast response car parked behind the burning car as firefighters tackle the blaze. By then, flames had already engulfed the entire vehicle.<\/p>\n
At one point flames reached as high up as the overhanging branches of the trees at the roadside.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In response to AsiaOne’s queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force said that the fire involved the engine compartment of the car, adding that its firefighters extinguished the fire using a water jet and a compressed air foam trolley.<\/p>\n
There were no reported injuries in the incident and the cause of the fire is under investigation.<\/p>\n
On July 30, a multi-purpose vehicle caught fire, also on TPE towards SLE.<\/p>\n
During that incident, 13 bus services were delayed by up to 30 minutes due to the fire, according to the Land Transport Authority’s MyTransport app.\u00a0<\/p>\n
