Some of the surviving persons have been harmed by smoke inhalation and are presently undergoing care for their condition.

The emergency call that was received at 6:15 in the morning was promptly attended to by the fire department. “Two fire tenders from the Jamalpur fire station were immediately dispatched to the scene,” an officer from the fire department had claimed. “By the time we arrived, the fire had already gone to the second story because it had crept up the stairs. The fire was quickly brought under control by our team via the use of water cannons.

Over 27 people who were trapped inside the building were rescued thanks to the prompt action of the fire department, which stopped the situation from spreading further and made it easier to rescue them.
