Det pågikk fredag ettermiddag fortsatt etterslukking etter brannen i skyskraperen The Address Downtown Burj Dubai, i Dubai i De forente arabiske emirater nyttårsaften.

Fortsatt veltet det svart røyk ut av luksushotellet Address Downtown. En person døde av hjerteinfarkt mens 15 personer fikk lettere skader under evakueringen, skriver nrk.no

Den 302 meter høye, 63-etasjers skyskraperen inneholder 626 hotellrom og 196 leiligheter. Bygget stod ferdig i 2008. 

Hotellet ligger i Burj Dubai Development Area.

Storbrannen i luksushotellet til tross – det verdensberømte og spektakulære fyrverkeriet i Dubai gikk av stabelen ved midnatt som planlagt.

Dubai er ett av syv emirater i De forente arabiske emirater.

In Norway’s capital Oslo a historic manor house dating from 1802 was ravaged by fire on 30 December. The bulding, said to be the oldest one in the popular Grünerløkka area in downtown Oslo, by the Akerselva river, housed a restaurant – Nedre Foss Gård, which in November was voted Oslo’s best new restaurant in 2015.

The hip Grünerløkka is popular among residents and visitors alike for it’s lively streets with shopping, restaurants, cafes and bars, and with original design shops and many vintage and second-hand stores, and is also a very popular residential area.

The building, owned by businessman and investor Christian Ringnes,had recently been renovated for NOK 50 million (approx.5 million euros). Mr.Ringnes told Norwegian media that he would do everything possible to reconstruct the listed building. 

The Oslo Fire Departement said the firefighting had been very difficult, and the fire fighting continued well into the next day.  

The fire probably started in the kitchen of the restaurant. No one was injured. 

The Head of the Cultural Heritage Management Office of the City of Oslo, Janne Wilberg, described the fire as “a tragedy”. 

Grünerløkka is named after Friedrich Grüner (1628-1674), who worked as a coin maker at the Royal Mint in Christiana (now Oslo), and who two years before he died purchased the Nedre Foss manor farm, and gave the area it’s present name.
