A fire gutted the warehouse of a spinning mill in the Bolibhadra area of the capital’s Ashulia last night.
Firefighters in Savar and Ashulia joint their efforts for around one hour to put out the fire at around 9:20pm while the fire had broken out at 8:45pm, said Alamgir Hossain, a mobilizing officer at the Fire Service and Civil Defence (FSCD).
The FSCD official said no casualties were reported and the cause of the fire could not be known immediately.
The FSCD officials and police in Ashulia said the fire was first sighted at the 200/25-square feet ware house of ‘Rangdhanu Spinning MIllas’, which was previously known as ‘Phoenix Textiles’.
“As the fire had set the cotton at the warehouse ablaze, the fire fighters had to face difficulties in dousing it”, said FSCD official Alamgir Hossain.
Upon noticing the fire, police said the workers of the factory had tried to douse the fire themselves. But being failed, they informed the FCSD and the fire fighters rushed to the scene and put out the fire.
