Huge fire guts hundreds of shops at Dhaka market

Описание: A huge fire gutted several hundreds shops at a market in Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka, but there were no casualties as the blaze swept through the area in the early hours of Thursday September 14th before stores opened.

It took six hours for military forces and firefighters to contain the blaze, which spread quickly in the Mohammadpur market due to the large amount of flammable items such as cooking oil and plastics, officials said.

Eyewitness footage shared on social media showed firefighters and people working to put out the fire.

A fire service official said there were no casualties in the fire, which was likely caused by an electric short circuit.
