A tragic incident took place on September 7 in Barsha Heights when a fire erupted on the 7th floor of Al Meer Tower.
The fire reportedly broke out around 8:30pm, and residents were evacuated before the fire spread throughout the façade of the residential tower.
Lovin Dubai reached out to a number of residents residing in the building and learned that tenants were content with the way the fire was handled by local authorities. Tenants were in praise of the Dubai Civil Defence teams who quickly arrived on the scene, extinguishing the fire shortly after.
A tenant who requested to stay anonymous shared that,
“Post the fire; shuttle buses were arranged for us, which shifted occupants to the Media Rotana Hotel for 2 nights. The next day we were contacted to come and collect our important belongings and documents from our homes. We waited in the lobby, since they were letting everyone up one floor at a time.
We were escorted to our flats by the Dubai Police, and were given strict instructions to only collect essentials such as passports, IDs, jewellery, money and other vital belongings.”
The fire erupted on the 7th floor of Al Meer Tower which is next to the Ramee Rose Hotel in Barsha Heights, after 9pm on Wednesday night.
Authorities were on the scene & a helicopter was dispatched from about 9pm.

Tenants were given a notice to vacate the premises by September 30, 2022, as the property would be sealed to undergo renovations. Contracts would also be re-distributed.
Despite the plight residents are facing as a result of the fire, they remain optimistic and grateful that authorities promptly put out the blaze – before it spread to the interiors of Al Meer Tower. They are hopeful that circumstances will get better and are thankful to be out safe.
