Large Fire Consumes Residential Towers in U.A.E.

A large fire engulfed at least two buildings in a residential tower complex in the United Arab Emirates city of Ajman late Monday night.

Dubai-based Gulf News reports that the blaze gutted two buildings in the Ajman One Towers, a residential cluster of 12 buildings. There was no immediate word on casualties but local media reported the buildings were evacuated.

Distraught residents could only watch as the fire spread up the side of the buildings.
