There's a fire in one of the buildings in westbay...dont know if it is under construction or not...fire seems to be pretty huge....anybody has any ifo or pics..please update
we were coming back home after dinner thru the corniche seeing the lights and we were near the commercial bank signal when i spotted something fishy
saw the smoke and whoa the building was on fire...and i saw a ball of fire falling from the upper floors down...the fire engines were honking and everybody was thinking it was for the national day celebrations!!!
so is that a residential tower? My frined just told me that he was in City Centre and saw a fire, but he is very new in Doha, he couldn't explain where is this exactly, and what kind of tower . .. hope everybody safe there..

east tower
Glad to hear you are alright dear, and I am so glad my friend moved out a couple of weeks back.
I have a friend that lives there and is on vacation. Could you tell if this was the East or West Tower?

my parents just moved out yesterday!
we got a phonecall that the building was on fire, just a few minutes ago, lucky them..
i hope everyone is ok!
it was really scary being so close
yes.. i have the video and the picture with me..
actually the fire started by 11:03 pm, hope every1 is safe..
i heard that the fire started because of the flag. but am not sure !!
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
This is only the beginning.
we have just evacuated it. we attended a party at the tower and had to leave. back at home watching the fire now. it seems like it is out now.
I thought might be due to National Day..
