A massive fire broke out on Tuesday evening in Dhaka’s Karail slum, affecting areas including Bou Bazar, Cumilla Patti, Barishal Patti, and Block 'K'. Nineteen units of the Fire Service are working to control the blaze, joined by local residents. However, efforts have been hampered by damaged hoses and a shortage of water in the northeastern part of the area. Lieutenant Colonel Mohammad Tajul Islam Chowdhury, Director of Fire Service Operations and Maintenance, stated that the teams are focusing on controlling the northeastern section to bring the fire under control soon. Initially, eleven units were deployed, with eight more joining later. Many residents whose homes were destroyed have taken shelter at the Khamarbari field nearby. No casualties have been reported so far, and the cause of the fire remains unknown. Authorities are hopeful that the situation will improve shortly as firefighting continues.
