By Al Arabiya

A tower building in Dubai’s Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT) has caught fire and was burning early Sunday morning as pieces of the building and debris were falling from the roof.

The causes of the blaze were not immediately known. An Al Arabiya English journalist at the scene saw pieces of the building in flame falling down to the ground.

There were reports that residents in the surrounding towers were being evacuated amid heavy presence of police and civil defense forces who were trying to control the fire.

Jumeira Lake Towers is a massive development that consists of about 80 towers built or still under construction along the edges of four artificial lakes.

How long did it take to collapse into its own footprint? A couple of hours or several hours later?

Larry Silverstien is on vacation so they didn't get a chance to "pull" the building.
