SINGAPORE - A car caught fire while parked in a multi-storey carpark in Choa Chu Kang on Saturday morning (Jan 4), charring at least two cars parked alongside it.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said there were no reported injuries from the vehicle fire that happened at 3am.

One of the cars' hood is open and burned beyond recognition, with most of its metal casing having melted away.
