4 killed, 35 injured in Armanitola chemical warehouse fire
At least four people were killed and 35 others sustained burn injuries after a massive fire broke out at chemical warehouse in the Armanitola area of Old Dhaka in the early hours of Friday.
Officials said the fire started at the ground floor of the six-storey Hazi Musa Mansion in Armanitola at 3.17 am and soon spread to other portions of the building. And it took 19 fire tenders nearly three hours to douse the flames.
Initially two bodies were recovered by the firefighters but later two more were pulled out from a small room near the stairs of the building, officials said.
