A Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) vehicle caught fire and burst into flames on Tuesday, July 21 in Woodlands.

Pictures and footage of the incident were shared on the SG Road Vigilante (SGRV) Facebook group on July 21.

SRGV said the car was apparently a white Ford Focus MK2 that was launched more than 10 years ago.

The last three letters of the vehicle car plate resemble the “MID” letters as seen from the video.

The white car can be seen parked along the side of the road while engulfed in flames.

One person taken to hospital

The Singapore Civil Defence Force officers were informed of the vehicle fire at around 12.55pm and successfully extinguished the fire using two water jets.

One person was taken to the nearby Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for treatment.

Investigations are ongoing.
