Fires often occur in Dhaka due to faulty gas cylinders, air conditioners, and bad electrical wiring.
A fire in a Dhaka shopping complex in April injured several firefighters and destroyed some 5,000 stores.
It took six hours for military forces and firefighters to contain the blaze, which spread quickly in the Mohammadpur market due to the large amount of flammable items such as cooking oil and plastics, officials said. “My family was dependent on this shop, what to do now? All burnt to ashes,” a shop owner told local media.
