The incident took place at about 8.30pm on Friday, Sep. 16.

The engine compartment of the BMW appeared to be on fire.

The Esso station is located across the road from D’Rubinah restaurant along Sembawang Road.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) said the fire involved the engine compartment of the car.

A member of the public and an off-duty officer tried putting out the fire with fire extinguishers before SCDF officers arrived, SCDF added.

Firefighters then used a water jet and a compressed air foam backpack to put out the fire.

SCDF said there were no injuries reported and the cause of the fire is being investigated.

Praise online for the firefighters poured in due to the precarious position the personnel put themselves in.
