On New Year’s Eve 2015 a fire broke out near the 20th floor of Dubai’s Address Downtown Dubai hotel. The fire rapidly spread up the 63-storey building and reportedly took over 20 hours to bring under control.

Earlier this month a huge fire broke out at poster and print shop, Kard Bar, in the centre of Newcastle. It is reported that the fire started shortly after 8.30am in the four-storey building, leaving one person confirmed dead.
