A fire has broken out at an apparel factory in Gazipur.
The eighth floor of ‘Pretty Sweaters’ factory caught fire around 4am on Tuesday, said Gazipur Fire Service Station Officer Hasibur Rahman.
It took as many as ten fire-fighting units, some of them summoned from Tongi and Uttara, to put out the flames in a little over two hours.
No fatalities were reported. The cause of the fire was not immediately clear.
Factory authorities said the fire had damaged the knitting section.
“About 50 to 60 machines of the factory’s knitting section have been gutted,” Pretty Group’s Manager Tarik Chowdhury told bdnews24.com.
