“Nurul Alam’s wife was attempting to light their gas stove in the morning but failed due to some problems in the stove.
“She may have left the gas cylinder on to light the stove with a match stick, which triggered the fire,” he added.
The family members were rescued and admitted to Balukhali MSF Hospital.
