A late-night fire has destroyed four warehouses storing fabric scraps in Gazipur city.
The fire broke out in the Haydarabad area around 11:45 pm on Saturday, according to officials.
It took five Fire Service units three and a half hours to take control of the situation, said Mohammad Mamun, deputy assistant director of Gazipur Fire Service.
The fire is believed to have started at the warehouse of scrap trader Kaiyum before spreading to adjacent facilities owned by Mizan and Abdul Aziz.
