Fire at Aman Plastic Factory in Keraniganj's Narikel Bagh, Eight Fire Service Units Working to Control It

A fire has broken out at the 'Aman Plastic' factory in the Narikel Bagh area of Keraniganj upazila in Dhaka. A total of eight Fire Service units are working to control the blaze, which started at noon on Monday (October 26).

According to Fire Service sources, the first team reached the spot and began extinguishing work within just seven minutes of receiving the news of the fire at 12:25pm.

Fire Service media officer Talha Bin Jasim confirmed the matter and said, 'After receiving the news, five Fire Service units reached the spot and began working to control the fire. Three more units are on their way to the spot to assist.'

As the situation worsened and the intensity of the fire grew, units were added step by step, and a total of eight units are now jointly working to control the fire. Members of the rescue teams are making all-out efforts to bring the fire fully under control.

Because a huge quantity of plastic raw materials and goods was inside the factory, the fire spread very quickly in all directions.

The origin of the fire could not be confirmed immediately. No casualties have been reported in the incident so far.

The Fire Service has said the actual extent of the damage and the main cause of the fire will be known once the extinguishing work is over.
