DUBAI (CNN) Firefighters
battled a blaze that engulfed a luxury hotel in Dubai Thursday night
while a spectacular New Year’s fireworks display lit up the night sky
nearby.
Orange tentacles of flames engulfed a large section of the high-rise Address Downtown Dubai hotel soon after the fire started around 9:30 p.m. (12:30 p.m. ET). Witnesses said they heard explosions as the fire raged.
Hours later, dark plumes of smoke billowed from the building as the fire still appeared to be searing several stories.
Bruce Szczepanski, who watched from the balcony of a nearby hotel, said
he could still hear parts of the building crashing to the ground more
than nine hours after the blaze began.Video FULL Address Hotel Dubai Skyscraper FIRE 12/31/2015
