Eight houses were gutted in a fire in Hathazari upazila of Chittagong yesterday.
Mannan Patwari, station officer of Hathazari Fire Service and Civil Defence Station, said the fire originated from an electric short circuit in the house of one Md Ramjan Ali of No 2 Dhalai union council around 12:00 noon.
It instantaneously engulfed the adjacent seven tin-shed houses and completely gutted them, he said.
A fire fighting unit from the station rushed to the spot around 12:40pm and doused the flame around 2:00pm, he added.
