Naturally, the question has arisen among the public as to why so many fire incidents have taken place within such a short period of time. The possibility of sabotage, as suspected by some quarters, cannot be ruled out entirely.
Of the 10 or so fire incidents that take place daily in Dhaka city (as per Fire Service data), only a few turn dangerous or massive and hit the news. Such has been the Bangabazar complex fire of April 4.
