Just before fireworks exploded across the sky to usher in 2016, a massive fire engulfed the Address Downtown Hotel in Dubai. At nearly 1,000 feet tall, this five-star hotel and luxury apartment building —with about 200 hotel rooms and 600 residential units—suffered significant damage, and a number of people were injured.

This is not the first high-rise fire in Dubai’s recent history. In February 2015, a fire damaged over 100 luxury apartments in the Marina Torch tower, and back in 2012, a fire destroyed the thirty-four-story Tamweel Tower.
