The Fire Service is attempting to put out a fire that broke out at a slum in Chattogram’s Firingee Bazar.
The blaze started around 1:20pm on Monday, said Abdur Razzak, deputy assistant director of the Chattogram Region Fire Service, reports bdnews24.com.
“Firefighters from the Nandankanan, Lamarbazar, Chandanpura, and Agrabad fire stations are working to extinguish the fire,” he said.
A trail of black smoke rising from the slum next to Mariner’s Road in Firingee Bazar could be seen from quite a distance.
The Fire Service has yet to confirm the cause of the fire.
Units from several other parts of the port city have been dispatched to the area to tame the flames, according to the Fire Service Agrabad Control Room.
