Dubai Fire: Massive Blaze Erupts in 67-Storey Building in Marina, 3,820 Residents From 764 Apartments Evacuated

  • A massive fire broke out late on June 13, 2025, at the 67-storey Marina Pinnacle tower in Dubai Marina, forcing evacuation of 3,820 residents from 764 apartments.
  • The fire started shortly after 9:30 pm on the 47th floor, reportedly triggered by a kitchen incident, then spread to upper floors amid smoke-filled stairwells and non-activated alarms.
  • Specialised teams evacuated all residents safely by 2:21 am, with some using elevators due to thick smoke blocking stairwells while emergency crews battled flames for nearly six hours.
  • The Dubai Media Office confirmed the fire was contained by Dubai Civil Defence and noted ongoing cooling operations caused visible smoke, adding medical and mental health aid was provided to affected residents.
  • Authorities and the building developer are arranging temporary housing for displaced residents, and the incident highlights concerns over alarm system failures despite many UAE buildings having functioning safety measures.
