Cause behind the fire remains unconfirmed<\/h2>\n

No official confirmation’s received on the cause of the fire, however few residents suggest that it could’ve been a smoker’s mishap.<\/p>\n

“There were cartons stored in the ground floor parking area for about two weeks. It seems like that the fire started when someone who was smoking ignited them” <\/strong>said Yasmin Rahi to Lovin’ Dubai.<\/em><\/p>\n

Many among the residents were quick to notice the smoke and evacuate to safety. No injuries were reported, but the emotional and material loss has left many shaken.<\/p>\n

Most fires are preventable<\/h2>\n

Fires across residential spaces start with a simple mistake that ends up costing a lot. Reports by the National<\/a> and Khaleej Times<\/a> from 2018 to 2020 suggest that carelessly discarded cigarettes are one of the leading causes of fire in buildings.<\/p>\n

Those years alone there were over 196 fires reported, and 30+ of them caused by objects such as charcoal and cigarette butts. Many of which eventually lead to loss of property and injuries among people.<\/p>\n

Speaking in regard to this, another resident Juliana Camillo said to Lovin’ Dubai that people need to be “warned to stop throwing cigarette butts”.<\/p>\n

While residents continue to wait on official updates, the incident serves as a sobering reminder for people to be a lot more careful of their surroundings.<\/p>\n
