 Photographer Dennis Mallari was setting up to photograph the Dubai fireworks when he became trapped on a balcony on the 48th floor of the hotel, 10 meters away from the blaze.He sent text messages alerting the authorities to his emergency, sought help by Facebook posts, and filmed the encroaching fire, and eventually tied a rope around himself to a nearby window-cleaning platform and hung off a balcony before being rescued.Those who sustained smoke inhalation and minor injuries were treated by 20 doctors and 50 nurses from the Dubai Health Authority at the site, according to Al Mazeina.
