The blaze hits just days after a fire at the 86-story Torch Tower nearby
A fire has struck another high-rise tower in the Dubai Marina, just days after a blaze struck one of the world’s tallest residential towers in the same neighborhood.
Witnesses said firefighters had already begun spraying water inside the Tiger Tower on Sunday. Some smoke earlier hung near the tower’s top floors as those inside evacuated the building.
The Dubai Media Office, a government agency, said Sunday on Twitter that no injuries were reported in the fire
Early Friday, a blaze hit the 86-story Torch Tower nearby. It was the second time in two years that the more than 1,100-foot tower has been ravaged by fire. The Torch, located in Dubai’s popular waterfront Marina district, also caught fire in February 2015. There were no major casualties reported in either blaze.
