In the video, a Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) fire engine can be seen. 

Through the thick smoke, two SCDF officers come into view spraying the car with water.

The picture sent shows the aftermath of the incident, where SCDF officers are seen walking next to the burnt car.

In response to a Stomp query, the SCDF said: "SCDF responded to a car fire on Nov 22 at 5.11pm along TPE towards Changi.

"The fire, involving the engine compartment of the car, was extinguished by SCDF using 2 water jets."
