Apex’s tire factory caught fire in the capital’s Tejgaon. The fire was brought under control after a two-hour effort by the fire service, but most of the factory was burnt down.
Twelve units of the fire service started extinguishing the fire on Tuesday (October 21) around 3 am.
After trying for more than two hours, the fire was brought under control around 5 am. However, it took 3 hours to bring it under complete control.
Due to the lack of combustible materials and water inside the factory, the fire service personnel brought the fire under control quickly. However, no casualties were reported.
