    "A Civil Defence official told Al Arabiya TV that there had been no injuries in the fire and that New Year's celebrations will proceed as planned." Hope that is true but it does sound a tad optimistic.

    Had it happened in Galway, there would have been no need for the fire brigade. Frank would have extinguished it quickly

    Yeah! The Irish guy who was in the hotel at the time and had to go out side to see what was happening said he didn't even hear a fire alarm — it was every man/woman for themselves!
