A parked hatchback car burst into flames two days ago in Kg Kianggeh, sending the Fire Brigade rushing to the scene to extinguish the fire.

The car was badly burnt from the fire which started from under the hood of the engine. The cause of the fire is still unknown.

The owner of the car, who works in an office with a company situated in the capital, said that she parked her car at the housing area at around 9 am and only went back in the afternoon only to find that her car had been turned into 'charcoal'.

It was believed that passers-by and residents were the ones who called the Fire Services Department when they saw the car catching fire.

The fire was put out completely at around 4 pm.

Meanwhile yesterday, a saloon car caught fire in the late morning also in Kg Kianggeh not far from the place where the earlier incident took place.
