Third high rise fire in UAE in 12 months
Mar 29th, 2016 at 12:01pm
 
The residents of high rise developments in UAE must be getting nervous as they go up in flames one by one.

Flammable building materials?

[url]A large fire has hit a residential tower in the United Arab Emirates, police say, in the third such incident in a little more than a year.
The fire struck the tower in the emirate of Ajman, north of Dubai, the region's police said on Twitter.
Reports in the UAE say there were no casualties, and that everyone was evacuated from the tower in al-Sawan.
On New Year's Eve, a large fire engulfed the luxury 63-storey Address Hotel in central Dubai.
The latest fire struck late on Monday in the Ajman One complex, a development of 12 towers with some 3,000 apartments.
Videos posted by Ajman Police on Twitter show flames engulfing most of one side of the tower, reaching several storeys high.
An earlier video shows a large amount of burning debris falling to the ground. The UAE Minister of Interior, Sheikh Saif bin Zayed, visited the scene.
The 2.7bn dirham (£515m; $735m) project had been due to open in 2009, but was completed years later.[/url]

If this cladding is being used it is criminal negligence by architects who specify it in contravention of building regulations or criminal negligence by builders if they substitute it for specified non-combustible materials.
