Towering Inferno - UAE Skyscraper Ablaze

A tower building in Dubai’s Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) has caught fire and was burning early Sunday morning as pieces of the building and debris were falling from the roof.

The causes of the blaze were not immediately known. An Al Arabiya English journalist at the scene saw pieces of the building in flame falling down to the ground.

There were reports that residents in the surrounding towers were being evacuated amid heavy presence of police and civil defense forces who were trying to control the fire.
