A fire broke out at a polybag manufacturing factory in the Bara Alampur area of Cumilla’s Adarsh Sadar upazila early on Tuesday.

Akhtaruzzaman Liton, assistant director of the Cumilla Fire Service and Civil Defense, said the blaze started at Miami Roto Products Limited around 7.30 am and soon engulfed portions of the factory.

On information, three fire tenders were soon rushed to the spot. Later, three more tenders were pressed into service and it took them a good two hours to douse the flames.

However, the cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained, Liton said.
