A massive fire broke out in a 67-storey skyscraper in Dubai’s Marina, leading to the evacuation of all 3,820 residents, according to the Dubai Media Office (DMO).

The fire started late on Friday night and was extinguished by Dubai Civil Defence teams that worked tirelessly for six hours, according to local media reports. The DMO said the authorities are working closely with the building’s developer to arrange temporary housing for the affected residents, prioritising their safety and well-being.

“Specialised teams successfully evacuated all residents from the 67-storey building, prioritising their health and safety throughout the operation. Efforts continue to fully contain the fire," said the DMO on Saturday.

This is not the first time that Marina Pinnacle – also known as Tiger Tower – has caught fire. In May 2015, a kitchen incident sparked a fire on the 47th floor, which spread to the 48th floor before being contained by Dubai Civil Defence, according to Khaleej Times.
