The Dubai Media Office has tweeted that Dubai Civil Defence teams are trying to control the fire with firefighters from four fire stations helping to tackle the blaze.

The same tower went up in flames in February 2015, but was brought under control quickly. No one died, though 7 people were treated for smoke inhalation.
