DUBAI: In a city famous for its impressive skyline and home to over a hundred of the world’s tallest buildings, Dubai has added another milestone to its long list of achievements.
A team of Dubai Civil Defense firefighters has achieved a Guinness World Record, a feat that highlights not only their strength and endurance, but also the exceptional training and capability of the city’s emergency response teams.
The record was set for the fastest time to scale the iconic Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, using its internal staircase.
The firefighters completed the grueling 159-story climb in just 52 minutes and 30 seconds, fully equipped with a 15-kilogram firefighting suit, including an oxygen tank.
This remarkable achievement underlines the physical and mental resilience of Dubai Civil Defense personnel, who remain prepared to respond to emergencies even in the most extreme and vertical environments.
