Fire at busy Ang Mo Kio multi-storey carpark damages several cars

SINGAPORE – Several cars suffered heat damage after a fire broke out at a multi-storey carpark in Ang Mo Kio on the afternoon of Jan 27. When contacted, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at Block 712A Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 at about 12.40pm. The fire, which involved two cars on the third level of the carpark, was extinguished using two water jets and a compressed air foam backpack. Preliminary investigations indicated that the cars involved were not electrical vehicles, SCDF said. No injuries were reported. When The Straits Times arrived at the carpark around 7pm, the owner of one of the cars, who wanted to be known only as Mr Foo, watched with his wife as their Nissan Sylphy was towed away. The 40-year-old engineer said they had planned to drive to Malaysia to visit family for Chinese New Year. “But we can’t do that any more. Not only did our car get burned down, but also our passports, which we left in the car,” he said.
