A warehouse of LED bulbs was badly damaged in a fire that broke out at Dhaka's Bongshal on Tuesday night.
Mahfuz Riven, a duty officer at Fire Service and Civil Defence’s headquarters, said the fire originated on the fourth floor of the six-storey building on Lutfunnahar Lane at Alubazar at 8:21pm.
