fire we re seeing here. usually sprinkler systems end up operating maybe 30 heads tops. i m sure there s probably 40 stories of fire here. there s probably at least a few hundred sprinkler heads trying to do the job. the best thing they can do is apply water to the system because that s the only thing thaps going to present it from spreading throughout the rest of the building. you expect that. real quick, what material would this building mabe made out of that it would be so flammable and this fire so fast moving? basically, the building itself is probably steel and concrete, but the synthetic materials can cause a situation like this. glen corbett, thank you so much for joining us. just to reset for our viewers. you re looking at one of the larger hotels in dubai. this is a skyscraper, over 300
a lot of people would look at that addition and say this is happening in downtown. why are they going on with that. so you re in dubai. i u know you just had surgery done there at the hospital. so you know that people are ond standby and you re driving that scene. have any victims been brought, you say no burn. victims have been brought? not here and not now. we re close. this is a very large hospital and they are on alert. staff is standing by here in the emergency room. i m standing out in the parking lot in front where the emergency vehicles would come. i have heard emergency vehicles heading toward the hotel, but i haven t seen anything come yet here. ken, standby for me. i want to bring in glen corbett, a tactical fire ex. pert joining us on the phone. you re seeing these pictures. tell us what you re looking at. thanks for having me. this is a fire that obviously is beyond the control of any fire
