2014 Dhaka Fire

Dhaka, November 24 : The 2014 Dhaka fire broke out on 24 November 2014, in the Tazreen Fashion factory at Ashulia on the outskirts of Dhaka. At least 117 people were confirmed dead in the fire, and at least 200 were injured, making it the deadliest factory fire in the nation's history.

The fire, presumably caused by an electrical short circuit, started on the ground floor of the nine-story factory, trapping the workers. Because of the large amount of fabrics and yarn in the factory, the fire quickly spread to other floors, complicating firefighting operations. The fire burned for more than seventeen hours before firefighters succeeded in extinguishing it. Most victims were found on the second floor. Where at least 69 bodies were recovered. witnesses reported that many workers had been unable to escape the flames, some of them dying of their injuries after being taken to area hospitals. Other workers who had escaped to the roof of the building were successfully rescued. The fire department's operations manager stated that the factory lacked emergency exits that led out of the building. Of the building's three staircases, all three led through the ground floor, making them unusable in the fire.
A crowd of thousand of relatives and onlookers gathered at the scene, and army soldiers were developed to maintain order.
