A Porsche caught fire outside a home at Sentosa Cove on Friday evening (May 12), leading to small explosions coming from the car.

Several videos of the fire were posted online.

In response to a Stomp query, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said it was alerted to the fire at 12 Cove Way at about 6.50pm. 

"The fire involved contents of a car porch outside the unit on the first floor. SCDF extinguished the fire using two water jets," said SCDF.

"Two persons had evacuated from the affected unit before SCDF’s arrival. There were no reported injuries."

Shin Min Daily News reported on Saturday that a maid who works in the area said she saw the buggy being charged before it caught fire​​​​​, which then spread to the Porsche.

SCDF said the cause of the fire is under investigation.
