“There were no workers at the Tung Hai sweater factory when the fire started. It was a big fire. But we managed to confine it on one floor,” Mahbubur Rahman, operations director of the nation's fire service department, told AFP.He said the victims died of suffocation after rushing into a stairwell and becoming overcome by “toxic smoke from burnt acrylic clothing”.Local police Chief Khalilur Rahman told AFP the fire killed “eight people including the owner, his four staff, a senior police officer, and a low-level police official.” We have identities of seven people. But we have not identified the eighth,” he said.
