Spine-chilling footage shows the moment a huge fire engulfed a 67-storey skyscraper in Dubai.

Marina Pinnacle - a residential building home to 3,820 people in the affluent area of the Dubai Marina - went up in flames at around 9.30pm on Friday night.

Dubai Civil Defence teams spent six hours tackling the blaze until it was successfully contained early on Saturday morning.

All 3,820 residents from 764 apartments were evacuated safely and there were no injuries, according to the Dubai Media Office (DMO).

'Ambulance teams and medical staff are on site to offer full medical and mental support to the safely evacuated residents,' a spokesperson for the DMO said on X.

Affected residents were provided with temporary housing in a coordinated effort from the authorities as well as the building's developers.

With no update on when they can return to their homes, residents have made temporary living arrangements.

Prateek M, an Indian expat who lives on the 22nd floor with his wife and young son, has temporarily moved into a hotel.
