She added that the car owner was not near her vehicle at the time and SCDF officers arrived in a few minutes.A few SCDF officers told residents to move away from the fire, before they put out the flames.Another silver car that was parked next to the Mercedes-Benz was later moved away, though it is unclear if it was damaged by the fire.
