Manila: A grass fire at Manila's international airport ignited 19 vehicles in a car park on Monday, airport and fire authorities said, with videos on social media showing thick plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky.
There were no immediate reports of injuries.
Video shared on social media and verified by AFP showed multiple vehicles ablaze in a car park in terminal three.
The heat index was expected to reach 41 degrees Celsius at the airport on Monday, according to the state weather forecaster.
"It started with one car that caught fire in the car park then the rest of the vehicles followed because it was so hot," said Lane Macleod, who filmed one of the videos from inside the terminal.
