The incident occurred near a rod mill in Pitalipul and caused panic in the area. Fire service units from Hajiganj quickly responded and managed to bring the blaze under control, preventing major damage and loss of life.

According to local sources, the fire started suddenly, and initial assessments suggest it originated from an electrical short circuit.

Authorities estimate that the fire destroyed jute bales and other goods worth approximately Tk 2 million inside the warehouse.
