A fire that broke out on Monday afternoon at the third floor of an 11-storey commercial building, LA Plaza, opposite the stadium in Mirpur-2, Dhaka, has been brought under control after about one and a half hours of effort by the Fire Service and Civil Defence. The blaze, reported at 1:52 p.m., was tackled by seven fire service units and fully controlled by 3:22 p.m. A total of 23 people, including 13 men and 10 women, were rescued from different floors of the building.
One woman suffering from breathing difficulties was sent to Shaheed Suhrawardy Hospital for treatment, while others received primary care and were reported to be in stable condition. Witnesses said smoke first appeared on the third floor before the fire spread quickly, causing panic among occupants. Firefighters used ladders and rescue equipment to bring people to safety.
Fire Service Inspector Anwarul Islam said the operation was conducted swiftly and in coordination. The exact cause and extent of damage are yet to be determined, though an electrical fault is suspected. A detailed investigation will follow once the building is fully secured.
