Dubai high-rise block engulfed by fire

A 79-storey residential tower in Dubai is on fire.

A large fire has ripped through a residential skyscraper in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Hope everyone gets out OK’. Looks like Princess?? #dubai #dubaifire God! Hope everyone can get out.

One of Dubai’s major blazes occurred on New Year’s Eve 2015 when fire struck the luxury Address Downtown Hotel, injuring 16 people just a few hours before a fireworks display nearby.

The Dubai building was struck by a fire in 2015 and is now undergoing restorative work.

“Friends and relatives just escaping now”.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.

Following that fire, Kingfield Owner Association Management Services, the building’s management company said in 2015: “The Torch Tower was built strictly to code and all approvals from relevant authorities were obtained prior to the completion certificate being issued by the authorities”.

Cara Spillane added: ‘Terrifying to see Torch Tower, in the area I live in on fire now.

A spokesman said: ‘Firefighting squads from four Civil Defence stations have been deployed to bring the fire under control and ensure safety of residents’.

Dubai’s glittering skyline has seen a number of similar fires in recent years.
