One of the world's tallest residential towers caught fire early Saturday in Dubai's Marina district, sending hundreds of residents pouring into the streets as bright yellow flames raged several stories high. No one was reported killed. The fire broke out at about 2 a.m. in the 86-story Torch tower on the northeast end of the densely populated waterfront district, which is packed with multi-story skyscrapers. High winds whipped through the area, fanning the flames, and debris from the fire cluttered nearby streets. Dubai's police chief, Maj. Gen. Khamis Mattar al-Muzeina, said in a statement that firefighters put out the blaze before it caused serious damage. He said several balconies were damaged, and a number of people who sustained minor injuries were treated by ambulance crews at the scene. Al-Muzeina said the cause of the fire was not immediately clear. Investigators were examining the scene, but there are no indications of foul play. http://feeds.foxnews.com/~r/foxnews/world/~3/kN4U-wTnxuw/ http://www.wochit.com
