A fire has broken out in Dubai Creek. The fire seems to have started in the past twenty minutes, the cause is as yet unknown but some twitter users have reported that fire brigades are already on the scene. More and more tweets are showing smoke, with no further information available at this point. The smoke appears to be coming from a boat, but this is yet to be confirmed… 

It’s just opposite from Deira
