Pieces of the building’s facade fell off and tumbled below as the blaze engulfed the Sulafa Tower on Wednesday.
The fire appears to have started on the upper floors and quickly spread to other floors and the sides of the building.
Nora Maki, who lives across the street, said the flames “spread like wildfire” but that firefighters “did an amazing job” of getting it under control. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
It’s the latest in a number of skyscraper fires across the United Arab Emirates in recent months. The most prominent was a New Year’s inferno at a 63-storey residence near the world’s tallest tower. The luxury Address Downtown hotel is a few blocks from the iconic Burj Khalifa.
