Chittagong fire incident ~ A humanitarian crisis unfolding right now
🔺At least 15 fire units are working in the depot where the fire broke out. The containers at the depot have hazardous material in them which has catalyzed the fire. The fire unit is struggling to control the fire. This is very much a live incident and the flames are raging through the depot till now.
🔺More than 250 injured people have been taken to Chittagong Medical College Hospital (CMCH) - the hospital is now struggling for space since all available beds are already filled up
🔺Chittagong Civil Surgeon has already requested all doctors and nurses to immediately report to duty to address this potential humanitarian disaster
🔺All ambulances have been requested to be deployed in Sitakundu - the depot where the fire broke out
🔺Volunteers have been requested to help out with blood donation - if you’re able to donate blood, this is the time to head out towards CMCH and contact the blood banks there
🔺3 confirmed dead, more casualties expected due to the nature of the burn injuries. Most are 90-95% burned and are missing limbs.
This has the potential to be one of the worst fire incidents in the country’s history.
Prayers for Chittagong
I wish the souls of those killed in the horrific explosion at the BM container depot in Sitakunda, Chittagong, forgiveness and sympathy to those who were injured. I urge the voluntary organizations and common people of Chittagong to come forward to help the victims. I heard that a lot of blood is needed. Come on everyone.

We are very advanced, but yet we don't have a fire extinguisher in a chemical factory,
Even if many factories in the country catch fire, it will end in an instant.
If there was a law, there would be no such thing. Not every factory means ETP. The rest of the rules, a lot of equipment called fire extinguishers are seen.
Even with bribes, many such factories are being set up in a few days
Many will say it is the fault of the government, I will say it is our own fault.
Disability of the law of the land, before, then
There are many such factories in the country now
Not everyone knows about Rana Plaza. If there were rules and regulations, Rana Plaza would not have been destroyed
God knows best when everyone will get better.
