Bangladesh garment factory fire death toll over 100 DHAKA, Bangladesh, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- A fire that swept through a multistory garment factory in Bangladesh killed more than 100 people, an army official said Sunday. The fire in the Tazreen Fashion building in Ashulia near Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, broke out Saturday night and burned into Sunday morning. Scores of workers were trapped on the upper floors of the factory, which was variously described as having six or eight floors, the Press Trust of India reported. The toll exceeded 100. I fear [the] toll could rise as bodies are still being retrieved," an unidentified army official told reporters. Television footage showed army troops and emergency workers carrying out numerous bodies from the debris as hundreds of people waited outside, PTI said. Earlier, The (Bangladesh) Daily Star reported police, firefighters and witnesses said they saw several people leap to their deaths from the upper floors. About 50 people were rescued from the building's roof, the newspaper said. The fire broke out about 6:50 p.m. Saturday and firefighters were still working to extinguish the blaze at 2:45 a.m. Witnesses said the blaze started on the ground floor and quickly upward.
