Debris could be seen falling from the skyscraper, a popular home for ex-pats, which is 285m tall - making it the 23rd tallest building in Dubai and 127th tallest in the world. Time Out Dubai said the fire is believed to have started on Sulafa Tower's 35th floor at 2.48pm on Wednesday. It said debris had landed on balconies on the lower floors, which then helped the fire spread.The fire started on the 35th floor, but we're not sure how yet. Most of the people who live there are standing outside watching the fire. "The fire has spread down both sides of the building now and is getting worse. "My mate also lives in the same block and hasn't renewed his house insurance yet this year so if his flat goes up he's done for. "Residents in surrounding buildings are also now being evacuated because they are worried they may also catch fire. Debris is floating down from the building and is landing in neighbouring swimming pools." Another resident: "I was at work at the time and I'm now standing outside the building. The whole building has been evacuated but the fire is still spreading."Reports suggest the roof of the building's car park is also ablaze. At least 10 fire engines are at the scene and residents have been evacuated from the block.Time Out said The Westin Dubai Mina Sehayi was offering refuge to residents who have been evacuated. While no serious injuries have been reported so far videos have emerged of residents sitting on the road with paramedics on the scene. In 2012, residents of the same block, which has 700 flats, were evacuated by a fire in an apartment on the 36th floor.
