According to Arabian Business, the report stated: ““The furniture caught fire due to a flammable source that was enough to start the blaze. The source was either a short circuit in the lights or the electric heater. [However], it could have been from smoking waste landing on the furniture, causing thermal glow with smoke, and that quickly turned into a blaze due to strong winds.”

Major General Khalil Ebrahim Al Mansouri at Dubai Police said: ““The fire started on the balcony but spread quickly due to the windy weather.”
