A fire broke out in CARE managed Camp-16 on 18 January 2021 around 3:00 am that burnt down two newly constructed, yet to open, Learning Centers. Camp community volunteers and disaster management unit volunteers under CARE rushed to the site and controlled the fire with available fire extinguishers, sand and water. The Rohingya community members also joined. The local Fire Department reached the location soon after the fire broke out and helped contain that within an hour. As the Learning Centers were constructed in a relatively open space, the fire did not spread to other places. So far, no casualty has been reported.
