The fire alarm in a multi-storey carpark on Jurong West St 64 went off at about 2am on 20 Aug 2007. Sounds of explosion due to the combustion of fuel were repeatedly heard thereafter.
First to start burning was the right-most wing of the 2nd storey, but the destructive claws of fire began spreading rapidly.
Car-owners whose vehicles were still far frm e blaze quickly dashed to rescue their vehicles, but those unfortunate souls whose vehicles were already perishing in the flames can only curse and mourn.
Fire engines and law enforcers arrived about 20minutes later, when billows of thick ominous smoke were already emanating profusely from the annihilation.
Flames were efficaciously vanquished within minutes, leaving behind a whole storey of darkness in the afflicted area and restored serenity in the aroused neighbourhood.
A troop of approximately 8 firefighters equipped with high-beam torchlights then entered into the scene of carnage and its surrounding territory for further inspection to ensure that safety is fully reinstated.
It is then that the pool of onlookers who had been observing the action began to disperse and retire for the night.
The massive smoke from e fire had caused a portion of the newly-painted carpark exterior to turn charcoal.
Ditto for the ceiling of the 2nd storey, which was absolutely smeared black by the raging flames.
Eye-witness, Miss Chan, disclosed that this is the 2nd time within 7 years that she has witnessed a fire from her window. The 1st time was at one of the factory behind the burning carpark.
It is reported that 16 motorcycles and 3 automobiles were destroyed in this fateful event.
The cause of fire is still not known, but the fire is said to have started from a motorcycle.
