STORYLINE:
A massive fire broke out in a popular market for cheaper clothes in Bangladesh’s capital on Tuesday morning, officials said.

The fire broke out at Bangabazar Market in Dhaka at 6:10 a.m. but no casualties were reported immediately, Rafi Al Faruk told The Associated Press by phone.

He said that the fire was massive and firefighters from 47 units were working to douse the blaze.

Anwarul Islam, another fire service official, said they had no idea how the fire started.

Fires often take place in commercial places in Bangladesh because of lax monitoring and lack of fire safety arrangement.

But the country’s massive garment industry, which experienced massive disasters including devastating fires in the past, has improved significantly over last decade.
