New fire safety code to be out in March | GulfNews.com:
"A new federal fire safety code will be released in March to fix liabilities during emergencies, a senior official said on Tuesday, adding that up to 20 per cent of buildings in the UAE may have flammable cladding.
The announcement came days after a major fire at Address Downtown on December 31. Lt Col Jamal Ahmad Ebrahim, Head of the Preventive Safety Department at Dubai Civil Defence, said authorities are surveying all buildings in the UAE to ensure they have no flammable cladding, and if so to find specific solutions for each case.
Two days after the Address Downtown fire, teams were formed on orders from Lt Gen Shaikh Saif Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, to check all buildings in the UAE especially for flammable cladding and also for any other discrepancies, whether inside or outside the building, that could be potential fire hazards or in conflict with the Fire and Life Safety code."
