David said: "I didn't see how the fire started, it was already like that when I passed by.

"No one seems to be inside the car because I didn't see the SCDF extracting anyone from it, and I didn't see an ambulance as well."

Another Stomper had also taken a photo of the fire as her car was stopped at a traffic junction.

In response to a Stomp query, SCDF said that it had responded to a vehicle fire incident along Killiney Road at about 6.15pm on Thursday.

The fire was extinguished by SCDF using a water jet and two compressed air foam backpacks.

There were no reported injuries and the cause of fire is under investigation.
