    Credits:
  • In November 2012, the Tamweel Tower in Jumeirah Lake Towers was engulfed in fire.

    The fire left hundreds of residents displaced and destroyed several apartments. Falling debris smashed at least 4 cars and a playground near the towers.

    Flames from falling debris caused most of the balconies to also catch fire, and the wind caused the fire to spread, pushing the flames inside buildings.
