In the video, which was taken from a car passing by the incident site, Taylor Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" played in the background while a voice exclaimed, "I don't want to die! Oh f**k!"

SCDF officers extinguished the fire

Responding to Mothership's queries, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed that it was alerted to the fire at around 2:05pm on Nov. 22.

The SCDF said that the fire involved a car, and was extinguished by the SCDF using two compressed air foam backpacks and a hosereel.
