<p>Police in Dubai reopened streets near one of the world's tallest residential skyscrapers after firefighters successfully extinguished a Friday blaze, forcing residents to evacuate in the middle of night.</p> 
<p>No injuries have been reported, but a few people were treated for smoke inhalation.</p> 
<p>This isn't the first time the 86-story building caught fire, having done so just 2.5 years earlier.</p> 
<p>The cause of Friday's fire wasn't immediately known, but, in the past, infernos in Dubai have been linked with highly flammable building cladding.</p>

<p>A skyscraper in the United Arab Emirates <a href="http://http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-dubai-torch-tower-fire-20170803-story.html" type="external">burst into flames</a> Thursday when the Torch Tower in the Dubai Marina began blazing in the night sky.</p> 
<p>Flames began racing up the 86-story building, which is a popular residence for expats living in the UAE&#8217;s largest city.</p> 
<p>Footage of the conflagration circulating on social media shows firefighters frantically trying to stop it from spreading.</p> 
<p>The Dubai Media Office confirmed the UAE&#8217;s Civil Defence is fighting the inferno raging at the tower.</p> 
<p>&#8220;Firefighting squads from four Civil Defence stations have been deployed to bring the fire under control,&#8221; a spokesman said.</p> 
<p>Some Twitter users on Thursday voiced shock at the fire burning at the Torch, which is the world&#8217;s fifth largest residential building at 1,105 ft. tall.</p> 
<p>Other people on the social media platform noted that hundreds of people evacuated the same building during a February 2015 fire.</p> 
<p>People across multiple social media outlets ranging from Facebook to Instagram, meanwhile, shared video footage of the rare event.</p> 
<p>Civil Defence officials told the Sun that they had &#8220;successfully evacuated&#8221; the Torch while fire fighters tried stopping the blaze.</p> 
<p>The Sun reported that the 2015 fire at the same building was quickly brought under control, resulting in no fatalities and seven people receiving treatment for smoke inhalation.</p> 
<p>A Dubai Police spokesperson told the Gulf News that the fire broke out on the tower&#8217;s ninth floor before spreading four floors higher.</p> 
<p>The BBC reported that the Torch boasts 676 apartments, with a two-bedroom flat starting at more than $500,000.</p> 
<p>Residents at the property also have access to an eight-story garage, according to the BBC, and a swimming pool which overlooks Dubai&#8217;s waterfront.</p> 
<p>The Torch is expected to be the 32nd tallest building in the world, according to the Skyscraper Centre.</p>
