A massive fire that broke out in Tiger Tower, a 67-storey high-rise in Dubai Marina, late Friday night turned into a terrifying ordeal for residents. A Bengaluru man, Nishit Sharma, shared his firsthand experience on social media — a post that has since drawn widespread attention.
As reported by Khaleej Times, the blaze erupted on the upper floors of Marina Pinnacle — commonly known as Tiger Tower — triggering a large-scale emergency response. Dubai Civil Defence teams battled the flames for nearly six hours and evacuated 3,820 residents from 764 apartments without any injuries reported.

“We were sleeping peacefully…”
Nishit Sharma, who is from Bengaluru, posted a chilling account on Instagram, describing how the fire unfolded around him:
“Fire in Tiger Tower. I was in the building with my wife sleeping peacefully in our apartment while this was happening. We were lucky to step out just on time. No casualties reported yet. Dubai government was very fast in responding and taking care of the situation.”
He also shared video clips of the fire engulfing the upper floors of the tower.
