SINGAPORE – Multiple vehicles at a rooftop carpark at Golden Mile Tower caught fire on Aug 31, sending thick plumes of smoke billowing from the building in Beach Road.
Initial findings showed that the vehicles involved in the fire were not electric vehicles (EVs), the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said.
“The fire, which involved multiple cars at the carpark, was extinguished by SCDF using two water jets,” it said.
It added that it was alerted to a fire on the rooftop of a multi-storey carpark at 6001 Beach Road just before 1pm. The address corresponds to Golden Mile Tower.
A video posted by The Projector cinema – one of the building’s tenants – on its Instagram page shows three vehicles at the carpark engulfed in flames.
In the video, an explosion sound can be heard as one of the vehicles sparks.
About 45 people were evacuated from the premises, while three people were assessed for smoke inhalation. However, they declined to be taken to hospital, SCDF said.
