16 injured in Dubai hotel fire

Fire ripped through a five star Address Downtown hotel just yards from where tens of thousands were having a party during the New Year in Dubai, the capital of the United Arab Emirates.
The flames ran up at least 40 storeys of the exclusive hotel.The hotel is just across a lake from the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building
It was not immediately clear what caused the blaze but  according to an eye witness,“There was no bang or bomb-like sound; we just looked over and saw an inferno".
 Burning debris rained down from the building as firetrucks raced to the scene. No one was killed, according to the authorities but 16 people were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation.
