🔥 Cars on fire at Golden Mile Tower—was it a spontaneous barbecue? 🤷♂️ Find out what happened!
On a sunny Saturday afternoon at the bustling Golden Mile Tower, an unexpected turn of events turned heads and warmed things up—literally! A fire broke out on the rooftop car park of this popular office and shopping complex along Beach Road, causing more than just a little smoke. Thick, black clouds billowed into the sky as over a dozen cars were engulfed in flames, leaving many social media users buzzing with concern—and a few with some rather dramatic TikTok footage!
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) swiftly sprang into action, marking the incident as a "multi-vehicle fire." According to their post on Facebook around 2:30 PM, they were alerted to the situation and began responding quickly to bring the fire under control. As thick plumes of smoke filled the air, patrons of the mall and onlookers rushed to capture the unusual sight on their devices, documenting what many thought was a scene straight out of an action movie. The sound of over 20 explosions echoed in the vicinity, raising eyebrows and even more alarm over the unfolding drama.
Notably, the scene was captivating enough for netizens to share countless videos and images across platforms like Facebook and X, presenting a blend of shock and attempt at humor in the face of chaos—because what’s better than a fiery weekend spectacle? Officials have been urging people to avoid the area while emergency teams worked diligently to manage the fire and assess any damage.
Though the flames at Golden Mile Tower have been extinguished, they brought to light the importance of fire safety in multi-level parking lots. In fact, did you know that vehicle fires can often be attributed to electrical malfunctions? Car fires are not as uncommon as one might think, and being proactive—like ensuring proper maintenance and not loading your car up with flammable materials—can save you from having a hot mess on your hands. Another interesting fact: Golden Mile Tower is known not only for its commercial spaces but also its rich heritage, serving as a hub for the Thai community in Singapore, where one can find delicious Thai food and cultural stores!
