How cum fireman's water hose managed to put out the fire instead of the agent discharged extinguisher used by the smaritans? How come diesel can burn until like this? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only pros know where to spray Have to spray into the fire those 2 guys don’t dare to spray inside very risk of explosion, very risky to spray inside but fire extinguisher take out already so just spray lah Edited March 22, 2021 by Mustank 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

therock Supersonic April 4, 2021 Share April 4, 2021 https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/vehicle-fires-hit-decade-low-with-most-incidents-usually-due-to-overheating-electrical And contrary to popular belief, vehicle fires have little to do with the weather. Quote The good news is that the number of vehicle fires in Singapore has been falling. Latest statistics from the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) show a dip, from 221 in 2018 to 195 in 2019 and 153 last year, the lowest in a decade. The SCDF said the number this year has also dropped, with 24 vehicles catching fire in the first two months, compared with the same period last year (43) and in 2019 (38). The SCDF noted that most of these incidents happened while the vehicles were moving on the road and were usually due to causes such as overheating and electrical faults within the engine compartment. It has been working with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) over the years so that the latter can take preventive steps, such as issuing advisories to motor dealers on the types of vehicle modifications to be cautious of. Motor dealers said most vehicle fires are caused by modifications to stereo, camera or navigation systems, for example. While the parts themselves are not hazardous, they sometimes involve bad wiring. And contrary to popular belief, vehicle fires have little to do with the weather. Mr Raymond Tang, managing director of Yong Lee Seng Motor, said: "We almost never do modifications. Sometimes, we take them out when such cars are sent to the shop. But sometimes, even we don't know if it's safe." The Automobile Association of Singapore said modifications can also lead to leakage in the vehicle fuel system, although regular wear and tear can also cause flammable fluids to leak. Sometimes, it can be due to defects in the cars, which are recalled once such problems are identified, with each agent following up individually with its clients. There are simple steps drivers can follow to reduce the risk of fires. Mr Lewis Tan, co-founder of digital roadside assistance service, Yellow Bull, said servicing should generally be done every six months, or when the vehicle has travelled 10,000km. Mr Tan, whose company tows four to five burnt cars every year, said: "A glaring tell-tale sign of some leakage is when there are oil droplets on the ground when you park your car. "It is a good practice to always check your car before you drive for the day. Walk one round, check your tyres and see if there is any fluid leakage on the ground." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year's statistics should be an outlier, since most cars were parked unused due to lock down, distorting the data. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
therock Supersonic April 5, 2021 Share April 5, 2021 I think the thrust of the article is that the lack of maintenance and illegal mods are the main reason behind fires rather than anything inherently wrong with the cars. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
