A fire broke out at a market in Tongi, Gazipur, late Friday night, destroying nine shops. No casualties were reported.
The fire started at Press Club Market in the Cherag Ali area, beside the Dhaka-Mymensingh highway, around 12:30AM on Friday night, October 16.
Two units of the Tongi Fire Service rushed to the scene after receiving the report and began firefighting operations.
Firefighters brought the blaze under control after nearly an hour of efforts. The fire reportedly spread quickly as most of the shops in the market were made of tin.
Senior Tongi Fire Service official Shaheen Alam said two firefighting units reached the scene soon after receiving the information and brought the fire under control.
The cause of the fire and the extent of the damage have yet to be determined.
