In pictures : Aftermath of Sharjah's Abbco Tower fire accident
A pictorial of Abbco tower, four days after a massive blaze tore through the 49-floor residential building in Sharjah's Al Nahda.
Khaleej Times can reveal that a carelessly discarded cigarette butt caused the fire that took a three-hour firefighting operation by the Sharjah Civil Defence on the night of May 6 to be out under control.
Over 250 families were evacuated from the building just before the fire broke out, gutting the building's front facade and several cars parked nearby
The Sharjah Charity Association (SCA) continues to ensure that temporary shelter is provided for the affected residents
The Sharjah Police's investigation revealed that the lit cigarette butt landed on a pile of cartons on the first floor of the building and started the blaze.
Hundreds of Sharjah tenants watched from the streets as firefighters battled a huge blaze that gutted their 48-storey building on Tuesday night.
Vehicles parked outside were damaged when debris crashed onto them.
Flames spread through Abbco Tower in Al Nahda shortly after smoke alarms sounded in the building's 300-plus apartments.
Police and Civil Defence said they used drones to scan the tall building to ensure no one was trapped.
It took several fire crews about three hours to bring the blaze under control, as debris rained down on parked vehicles.
