“Seventeen firefighting units of the Dhaka Fire Service and Civil Defense are trying to douse the fire,” Officer Ataur Rahman of the Dhaka Fire Service told the Dhaka Tribune.
Officials said the cause of the fire was unclear.
As the fire climbed higher, employees broke the building’s blue-colored glass and screamed for help. Thousands of people gathered below in the neighborhood of Banani, a commercial area of Dhaka, taking photos and video.
In February, 70 people were killed in a fire that tore through a crowded neighborhood in Dhaka, a densely populated city of around 20 million people.
