A fire gutted six warehouses filled with jhut (garment scraps) in Ambag area of Gazipur city on Wednesday morning.
The fire broke out around 6:30am at a warehouse located at Barbuchi Mor under ward No-11 of Konabari Police Station, locals and fire officials said.
The fire spread fast adjoining five other warehouses, triggering panic among locals.
Seeing this, locals initially tried to bring the flame under control but failed and called firefighters.
On information, four firefighting units—two from Konabari Modern Fire Station and two from Chowrasta Fire Station, rushed to the scene and managed to bring the fire under control after about two hours of efforts.
Inspector Saiful Islam of Konabari Modern Fire Service said it is not yet clear what caused the fire or the extent of the damage, reports UNB.
A probe will determine the cause and losses, he added.
