Gazipur Fire Service Deputy-Assistant Director Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman said the fire broke out at Polygon Fashion Limited around 11:00am. “No casualties took place.”

According to him some cast-off clothes were gutted in the fire.

Akhtaruzzaman said the fire soon engulfed the entire eighth floor.

Two fire-fighting units from Gazipur and Kaliakoir tamed the blaze after one hour, he said.

The official, however, could neither pin-point the reason behind the fire nor estimate the losses immediately.
