Fire engulfed a luxury building Thursday near where tens of thousands of people gathered for Dubai's massive New Year's Eve fireworks display. It was not immediately clear what caused the fire, which ran up at least 20 stories of the building. The blaze broke out at the five-star Address Downtown, a 63-story luxury hotel and residential building. Burning debris rained down from the building as firetrucks raced to the scene. The building was evacuated, and Dubai's media office said 14 people suffered minor injuries. Fireworks went off as the celebration started shortly after midnight while the fire continued to burn.
