A fire that broke out at a commercial building in the Wari area of the capital early on Tuesday morning has been doused, officials said.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported. The fire began around 6am on the ground floor of a two-storey building at Kaptanbazar Ershad Market.
Four fire tenders were pressed into service and it took them half an hour to douse the flames, Shahjahan Shikder, deputy assistant director (media cell) at Fire Service and Civil Defence headquarters, said.
A probe has been ordered to ascertain the exact cause of the fire, he added.
