Raging inferno tears through residential blocks in UAE...

In what is becoming a disturbing consistency, two residential tower blocks have been hit by large fires, the third such incident in about a year. The fire began in the Ajman One complex, a $735million development of 12 towers with some 3,000 apartments before spreading to a nearby building.

Residents were evacuated, but several have reportedly been treated for breathing problems and minor injuries.

On new year's eve, the 63-storey Address hotel in Dubai was engulfed by a large fire which blazed for twenty hours.
