Posted by bangladesh

A readymade garment factory caught fire in Jorun area in Gazipur resulting in huge losses.

Senior Station Officer of Gazipur Fire Service Abu Zafar Ahmed told bdnews24.com that Islam Garments Fashion caught fire around 7:45pm on Saturday.

He said fire-fighting units rushed to the spot from Gazipur, Savar EPZ and Kaliakair and doused the flames after two and a half hours' effort around 11pm.

Zafar said they thought an electric short-circuit had caused the fire but said none was injured in the accident.

Director of Islam Garments Shaker Ahmed said the fire originated at the cutting section on the third floor around 7:45pm. The flames quickly spread to nearby rooms.

He said the fire had gutted a large number of readymade garments, clothes and destroyed several machines of the factory. The director claimed the estimated loss was nearly around Tk 40 million.

Zafar, however, could not say anything about losses.
