Fire at Ctg EPZ factory under control
The fire at a carton factory inside Karnaphuli Export Processing Zone (EPZ) brought under control after a two-hour operation
Chattogram, Dec 08 - A massive fire at a carton factory inside the Karnaphuli Export Processing Zone (EPZ) was brought under control after a two-hour operation involving eight fire service units and a Navy team on Saturday evening.
The blaze, which erupted around 6:30 PM at Unity Accessories factory, spread rapidly due to the presence of flammable materials, including a large stock of paper.
Abdur Razzak, Deputy Assistant Director of Chattogram Fire Service, said that the fire was contained by 8 pm. "The presence of highly combustible materials made it difficult to control the fire,” he added.
No immediate casualties or a damage estimate were reported. Investigation into the cause of the fire is underway, he said further.-UNB
