A fire broke out at a restaurant located on the ground floor of the 10-storey Siraj Capital Centre in Dhaka's Bailey Road around 6:47 pm this evening.
According to Rezaul Islam, the duty officer at the Fire Service and Civil Defence Headquarters' control room, eight firefighting units were dispatched to the scene and were actively working to bring the blaze under control.
The flames reportedly spread rapidly, but details about the extent of the damage or any casualties are not yet available. The exact cause of the fire remains unknown, and an investigation is expected to follow once the fire is fully extinguished.
Emergency services were quick to respond, and the area has since been cordoned off to ensure public safety while firefighting efforts continue.
