A massive fire has engulfed a 67-story apartment building in Dubai Marina today.

The Dubai Media Authority said the fire was extinguished within six hours, while all 3,820 residents from 764 apartments were moved to safety and there were no injuries.

"Ambulance crews and medical staff are on scene to provide full medical and mental support to the safely evacuated residents ," the media office said.

Authorities are coordinating with the building's developer to provide temporary accommodation for the evacuated residents. Dubai's transport authority informed commuters of a traffic disruption between Dubai Marina Station and Palm Jumeirah Station due to the massive fire.

"This is to ensure the safety of passengers and to facilitate the work of fire crews responding to the incident ," the RTA said in a statement on social media. 

The fire broke out on the upper floors of the Tiger Tower, also known as the Pinnacle Marina, at around 9:30 p.m. Images from the scene show emergency services arriving at the scene as flames engulfed part of the building. The cause of the fire is still unknown and an investigation is underway.
