Deadly Apparel Factory Inferno in Bangladesh Takes no Fewer than 16 Lives
No fewer than 16 individuals have died after a huge fire broke out at a clothing factory in Bangladesh, with officials cautioning that the number of victims could rise.
Sixteen bodies have been retrieved but were incinerated unrecognizable, the fire service reported.
Distraught relatives converged outside the multi-story factory in the Mirpur district of Dhaka on Tuesday in looking for their dear ones still missing.
The blaze, which erupted at the factory around lunchtime, was brought under control after three hours. But an nearby chemical warehouse continued to burn, officials confirmed.
Until 21:00 local time (15:00 GMT) yesterday, the fire at the chemical warehouse had not been fully extinguished, journalistic accounts indicated.
Emergency responders have not ascertained which of the two buildings was the origin point.
Per eyewitnesses, the chemical warehouse stored industrial bleaches, synthetic polymers and chemical peroxide, all of which can worsen fires. Plastic also produces toxic fumes when ignited.
Police and military officers are still trying to locate the proprietors of the factory and the warehouse, fire service director Mohammad Tajul Islam Chowdhury told reporters.
An probe on whether the warehouse was running according to regulations is also in progress, he added.
Crying family members waited outside the charred buildings, many of them clutching photographs of their lost relatives.
Present at the scene is a man looking frantically for his daughter, his loved one.
"When I learned of the fire, I rushed here. But I still cannot locate her... I just want my daughter back," he expressed to news media.
The catastrophic occurrence has another time highlighted the hazardous conditions facing Bangladesh's garment industry, which engages numerous of workers and is a major provider of foreign revenue for the country.
