the aircraft had departed DXB earlier and was some 120 miles away when the emergency started. They requested a return to DXB but with the first attempt to 12R they were high and had to go around. The fire escalated to the point where they could not see the instruments and were constantly asking ATC for headings and altitude dumping fuel at the same time. Aircraft crashed while maneuvering for another landing attempt. The UPS 744 has fire detection erquipment but no fire suppression. Sounds like the worst case scenairo for the pilots.
