SINGAPORE: A BMW experienced a sudden hood fire outside the Concorde Hotel on Orchard Road on November 3rd, emitting dense black smoke that ascended to the eighth floor of a neighboring office building. Upon noticing the smoke entering her office, a 50-year-old woman, upon investigation, found the BMW's hood ablaze. The witness, citing discomfort in her nose and throat, closed her office windows and opened the door to allow the smoke to dissipate gradually, as reported by Shin Min Daily News.
Fire services responded promptly, dispatching two fire trucks and three police vehicles, successfully extinguishing the blaze. Upon inspection, authorities witnessed the car's hood severely damaged, with its bumper almost entirely melted. The origin of the fire remains under investigation. Concurrently, a multi-vehicle collision on the Tampines Expressway, involving two motorcycles, a lorry, and a car, resulted in one motorcycle engulfing in flames, prompting other drivers to halt and assist in extinguishing the fire.
