In a touching gesture of support and empathy, Dubai’s dedicated police force was seen providing comfort to affected tenants by distributing coffee and water

Resident Daniella Barta, who experienced the ordeal, recounted the events, stating:

“At 4:10 am, the alarm sounded, and I initially hesitated, assuming it might be another false alarm.

However, upon seeing fellow residents evacuating, I quickly joined them. Firefighters were already on the scene, and there was a brief explosion around 4:15-4:20 am, which they promptly contained. By 5:45 am, the situation was under control.

The police and firefighters continuously reassured us and even offered water and coffee during this challenging time. Their professionalism and assistance were immensely helpful.”

This incident serves as a testament to Dubai’s efficient emergency response systems, ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents even in the face of unexpected crises
