Deadly Apparel Factory Fire in the South Asian nation Has Taken at Least 16 Fatalities
A minimum of 16 people have lost their lives after a enormous fire erupted at a clothing factory in Bangladesh, with authorities warning that the fatality count could increase.
A total of sixteen bodies have been recovered but were incinerated beyond recognition, the firefighters reported.
Heartbroken relatives gathered outside the four-storey factory in Dhaka's Mirpur area on that day in looking for their loved ones still unaccounted for.
The fire, which broke out at the factory around noon, was extinguished after multiple hours. But an neighboring 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 completely doused, journalistic accounts said.
Fire department authorities have not determined which of the two buildings caught fire first.
Per witnesses, the chemical warehouse housed industrial bleaches, synthetic polymers and chemical peroxide, all of which can intensify fires. Plastic also releases hazardous smoke when combusted.
Police and military officers are still attempting to find the proprietors of the factory and the warehouse, fire department chief the fire service official informed reporters.
An probe on whether the warehouse was functioning with proper authorization is also ongoing, he noted.
Weeping family members gathered outside the burned buildings, many of them holding photographs of their lost relatives.
Present at the scene is a man seeking urgently for his daughter, his family member.
"When I heard about the fire, I rushed here. But I still have been unable to find her... I just want my loved one back," he expressed to reporters.
The catastrophic occurrence has yet again emphasized the security issues plaguing Bangladesh's apparel manufacturing, which employs countless of workers and is a significant source of economic income for the South Asian economy.
