Dubai, Jun 15: A massive fire broke out in a 67-storey residential skyscraper in Dubai Marina. The incident occurred in the wee hours of Saturday.

Following the incident, over 3,800 residents from 764 apartments of the Marina Pinnacle were safely evacuated.

The fire was extinguished by Dubai Civil Defence teams that worked tirelessly for six hours.

The DMO said the authorities are working closely with the building's developer to arrange temporary housing for the affected residents and confirmed that there were no injuries or casualties in the blaze.

This is not the first time Marina Pinnacle has experienced a fire. In 2015, a kitchen blaze on the 47th floor spread to the 48th floor before being contained.
