A fire erupted at the Address Downtown Hotel in Dubai, the Dubai Media Office confirmed in a tweet.
The fire started on the 20th floor, according to the Dubai government.
No injuries have been reported so far, the Dubai Civil Defense General
said.
The hotel was evacuated, and four teams of firefighters are currently on
the scene and have controlled about 65 percent of the fire, according
to the Dubai Civil Defense General.
The hotel fire is across the street from the location of the New Year's
Eve fireworks show, billed to be “bigger than ever” this year with a
20-minute domino-effect firework display shooting from the entire length
of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper, the tallest building in the world. The show will go on as planned, the Dubai Civil Defense General said.
The cause of the fire is still unknown, the government said.
