Dubai - Hundreds Saved After 'Massive' Blaze in Dubai Skyscraper

A huge fire that engulfed the higher floors of a 79-story apartment tower in Dubai was extinguished and hundreds of residents evacuated on Saturday morning, police said. Witnesses and officials said nobody died in the "massive" wind-fueled blaze that engulfed between 10 and 15 floors of the more than 1,100-foot-tall tower, named The Torch. Mehdi Ansari, who lives on the 27th floor and escaped with his wife and baby after the alarms sounded, told NBC News, "I saw the fire falling from the window." He said the fire appeared to begin around the 52nd floor, and it grew to cover between 10 and 15 more floors surrounding it. He said winds were blowing the flames down the building. Ansari said the escape from the burning tower, located in the marina district, was orderly. http://feeds.nbcnews.com/c/35002/f/663303/s/43a23c9e/sc/11/l/0L0Snbcnews0N0Cnews0Cworld0Cblaze0Edubai0Eskyscraper0Etorch0Eextinguished0Ehundreds0Eevacuated0En310A0A31/story01.htm http://www.wochit.com
