A fire gutted a chemical warehouse in Sadarghat of Chattogram city on Tuesday night.
The fire started around 8:10pm and spread within minutes because of the presence of chemical substances, said Newton Das of Chattogram Fire Service and Civil Defence.
Five fire tenders rushed to the spot but it took them nearly three hours to douse the flames.
The warehouse management is trying to ascertain the extent of the loss caused by the fire.
"A probe has also been ordered to find out the exact cause of the fire," Newton added.
