A fire broke out in an under-construction tower near Dubai Mall on Sunday morning.
Dubai Media Office tweeted at 7.30am about the fire, which occurred in the Fountain Views tower, saying that Dubai Civil Defence had it under control while cooling operations were under way and ambulance units were on site.
Roads leading to MBR Boulevard from Cinema Crossroads were closed and traffic was been diverted to the flyover. Interchange 7 leading to Burj Khalifa was closed and vehicles of employees were redirected to Fashion Parking.
