Photo Collected
A massive fire that broke out at a jute warehouse complex in the Deuliabari area of Gazipur Metropolitan’s Konabari district was brought under control after a four-and-a-quarter-hour operation on Thursday.
The blaze originated at approximately 5:30 a.m. at a warehouse owned by Bachchu Mia. Due to the proximity of several other jute storage facilities in the vicinity, the fire spread rapidly to neighboring structures.
Local business owners alerted the fire services upon noticing the flames. Five units—three from the Konabari Fire Service and two from the Sarabo Fire Service—responded to the scene to conduct suppression efforts. Firefighters managed to bring the blaze under control by approximately 9:45 a.m.
Saiful Islam, a warehouse inspector at the Konabari Fire Service, confirmed that rescue teams remained on-site throughout the morning. As of Thursday, crews were engaged in dampening operations to prevent any residual embers within the charred debris from reigniting.
Authorities have not yet determined the cause of the fire or provided an estimate of the financial losses incurred. No injuries were immediately reported.
