In a tragic incident reported in Karama, Dubai, a devastating fire engulfed a residential building in the early hours of Wednesday, claiming the life of an Indian expat. The authorities have yet to determine the cause of the blaze, but eyewitnesses speculate it may have started on the building’s third floor.

The victim, a man in his 40s from the southern Indian state of Kerala, tragically lost his life while receiving medical attention at a city hospital.

Alongside this grievous loss, the Dubai Civil Defence has informed the public that three residents sustained “moderate” injuries and were promptly hospitalized for treatment

The alarming incident was first reported at 12:17am, with a swift response from firefighters and emergency personnel. They arrived at the scene in a remarkable three minutes, ensuring the safe evacuation of the building and the immediate cordoning off of the area. Remarkably, by 12:40am, the fire was successfully brought under control.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the deceased and the affected families during this tragic time.
