Two people were burnt to death and one sustained injuries after a fire engulfed a living space in port city's Halishahar area yesterday.
The deceased are Md Mohon (35) of Cumilla and Md Jakir Hossain (36) of Chandpur.
The injured, Kabir Hossain (35), was admitted to Chattogram Medical College Hospital.
Farid Ahmed, assistant director of Fire Service and Civil Defence headquarters, said the fire broke out around 1:30am at a building, which also housed six shops.
Md Jahangir, a resident of the building, said, "After the fire broke out, we called for the victims but they were sleeping in their rooms. We managed to get out but they couldn't."
The entrance to the living space is too narrow and has a small main door. During the incident, the victims were asleep and were burnt to death inside the room, said officials.
Three firefighting units doused the flame around 2:30am.
