A fire broke out on Friday night in a residential building in Dubai Marina, but the Dubai Civil Defence teams worked quickly to put it out. The fire was under control in just six hours.

As firefighters fought the blaze, other emergency teams focused on evacuating people from the 67-story building. By 1:30am, the fire was slowing down, and nearby residents saw the fire being brought under control.

In a post at 1:44am, the Dubai Media Office confirmed that all residents had been safely evacuated, and the firefighting teams were still working to fully contain the fire.

Later, at 2:09am, the Dubai Media Office mentioned that medical teams were at the scene to assist the evacuated residents with any health or mental support they needed.
