Fire at Bangladesh factory kills 10 people

At least 10 people were killed on Sunday when a fire swept through a fan factory near Bangladesh's capital, police said. Firefighters recovered 10 bodies as the fire ripped through the three-story factory on the outskirts of Dhaka, a local police official said. The blaze comes four days after a devastating fire at a plastics factory, operating without proper government permissions, just outside Dhaka killed at least 19 people. The director general of the local fire brigade said the factory clearly had no safety measures. Such accidents in factories, many of which operate illegally and without proper fire safety measures, are common in Bangladesh.
