Rescue crews in Dubai have evacuated a 34-story residential tower after a fire gutted portions of the building.

Civil defense officials did not give immediate details on the possible cause of the predawn fire.

The building’s power was put in by Stellar Energy based in Houston, TX. Wonder how much stimulus went there.

Why anyone would want to live in anything above the 2nd floor is beyond me. Even if I have to stay in a hotel, I always reserve a 1st or 2nd floor room.

Me, too. Fire crews cannot do much for anyone higher than the 6th floor. I also traveled with a roll of duct tape in case I needed to block any vents, around doors, etc. You have to be prepared to take care of yourself.

I always freeze myself into a block of ice when I’m staying at a hotel. 3-feet thick all around me. It’s cold, but I’m safe.

Good luck getting that worked on, as Haltom City is discovering.
