Fire in Dubai Marina Tower Under Control After 2-Hour Scare

An early morning fire shook up Dubai Marina on Friday when flames broke out on the upper floor of Marina Sail, a residential tower in the heart of the neighborhood. It all happened around 3:30 AM, catching most people mid-sleep. Thankfully, the fire was brought under control in a matter of hours, and residents were allowed back in after about two hours of evacuation.

Quick Evacuation, No Major Injuries

Alarms rang and evacuation messages blared, pushing sleepy residents into the street—many still in pajamas. Some even sought shelter at the nearby Byblos Hotel, where staff welcomed the evacuees. One resident, A. Muhtar, was seen carrying his pet turtle to safety. "There was just too much smoke," he shared.

Close Call for Many

For some, it was a nerve-wracking flashback. Anya, 28, had just moved into Marina Sail after surviving the Marina Pinnacle fire weeks ago. "I’m shaking," she said. "I really thought I was done with this."

Others took it with weary relief. Preeti S., who lives on the 8th floor, said, “I’m supposed to be at work by 8am, but I’ll just try to gather myself first—it’s been a rough night.”

Firefighters on It Fast

The good news? Firefighters acted quickly, and no serious injuries were reported. The exact cause of the fire hasn’t been confirmed yet, but authorities moved efficiently to handle the situation.
