I heard fire engines on Friday but never saw anything. Just read the news on gulf news after seeing this. Terrible to hear/read.

The images on the gulf news web site seem to be old photos of the golden mile building 6 fire that was back in about Nov/Dec

if that is what is being reported in the UAE press, then to get the real casualties, double it and add 30..kinda like degrees to farenheit..

It was evidently an unfinished seven story structure being used as a site warehouse for the storage of construction materials and equipment...so a little bird told me
