SINGAPORE: An ambulance attending to a call for medical help caught fire and caused seven other vehicles in the same carpark to go up in flames.

The incident happened at about 3pm on Saturday at the carpark of Block 120 in Geylang East Central.

Eyewitness, Ng Yiwei, told Channel NewsAsia that she was at home with her sister when she heard the sounds of explosion and saw smoke from the window outside her flat on the sixth floor.

The 22-year-old National University of Singapore (NUS) undergraduate said: "Initially the fire was very scary. The smoke was so thick you can't tell that it came from the ambulance." It engulfed the ambulance and the fire then spread to a nearby lorry, causing the front of the vehicle to explode. The fire then moved on to two more cars and another lorry. There was an explosion at each vehicle.'

Her sister, Ng Yisi, who is also a NUS undergraduate, said: "The smoke was very thick and very scary. Initially we thought it was the haze from Indonesia, but when we looked down the window it was actually from the ambulance."

Police said no one was injured.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said the ambulance was attending to a case at Block 120.

It said the ambulance was stationary at the carpark, with its beacon lights on.

No one in the ambulance.

The ambulance crew was with the patient, an elderly Chinese woman, at the void deck, which was about 20 metres away.

Another ambulance sent the patient to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

The fire was put out within five minutes.

The cause of fire is under investigation.

.....Her sister, Ng Yisi, who is also a NUS undergraduate, said: "The smoke was very thick and very scary. Initially we thought it was the haze from Indonesia, but when we looked down the window it was actually from the ambulance.....

Wah, NUS undergraduate thinks that thick black smoke comes from forest fires in Indonesia!

Indon President SBY must be having nightmares about S'poreans. Malaysians cry heaven and hell to complain about the haze originating from uncontrolled burning in Indonesia. S'poreans go one step further to exaggerate that the smoke can be as black as smoke from burning tyres.

If this type of publicity does not get the Indon to take action, nothing possibily will. All the money, equipment, manpower and training provided by S'pore in Jambi simply go up in smoke - literally!

Singapore Offers to Help Indonesia Put Out Forest Fires (Oct 2010)

Singapore on Friday stepped up the pressure on Indonesia to put out forest fires in Sumatra that have caused severe air pollution and health problems in neighboring countries. Singapore Foreign Minister George Yeo phoned his Indonesian counterpart Marty Natalegawa to express concern about the “worsening” situation and reiterate Singapore’s “immediate readiness” to help put out the fires, a government statement said.

Natalegawa “assured Minister Yeo that Indonesia would address the haze problem, adding that many Indonesians in Sumatra are also affected,” the Singapore foreign ministry statement added....

Now that George Yeo is no longer around, wonder whether anyone from Aljunied will call up the Indon Minister to express S'porean concern about the haze.

Why the driver not off the ambulance engine when not in the ambulance? Not worry someone drive away.
Must be overheat engine. When the vehicle not moving there no air ventilation for the engine .

Eventhough it was reported that the patient did not die, but could the patient's medical condition get affected by the delay

For example, heart attack, delay will cause more damage to the heart and have long term implications

Which entity maintain and inspect the vehicle or did the vehicle integration

Can owners of those burn't cars sue SCDF or are they invulnerable because they are considered as part of the gov't

Had the fire started later we will be looking at a tragedy instead of just collateral damages. A fluke or is there such a thing call divine intervention. Everything happens for a reason, it dont just happen. Will they be able to determine the exact cause is going to be a question mark that haunts them, SCDF cannot boast on this one, freak and fluke.:p
