DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES — A residential skyscraper in Dubai was engulfed by a massive blaze that raged on for hours before being brought under control. <br /> <br />Reuters reports that just after midnight on Friday, a fire broke out at the 86-storey Torch Tower, which sits near Dubai Marina in the United Arab Emirates. <br /> <br />Residents were woken up by the sound of fire alarms, and were quickly evacuated from the building. <br /> <br />As the blaze spread to several floors, burning debris fell from the structure and set fire to at least two cars in the parking deck. <br /> <br />Firefighters fought the fire from inside the building, and successfully put it out three hours after it began. No casualties were reported. <br /> <br />The incident marks the second time the unfortunately named structure has caught fire. The first blaze in 2015 revealed a flammable external cladding, similar to those used in the deadly Grenfell Tower inferno in London. Renovations were still ongoing when the second fire struck. <br /> <br />Here's hoping that when they renovate again, they'll add in a name-change too.
