Fire at Nawabpur warehouse doused
Two weeks after the devastating fire at a warehouse in Chawkbazar, a fire broke out yesterday at a tyre warehouse in Nawabpur area of Old Dhaka.
The fire originated from an electric short circuit on the fourth-floor of a six-storey building around 2:30pm and spread to the upper floor of the building.
Five firefighting units rushed to the spot and doused the blaze around 4:15pm, said Rasel Shikder, a duty officer of Fire Service and Civil Defence headquarters.
No casualty was reported, he said.
The old part of the city is highly susceptible to fire, and at least one fire incident on an average breaks out every day in the area, that houses numerous warehouses, many of them in residential buildings.
