Death toll of juice factory fire in Bangladesh rises to 52 as blaze continues for 2nd day

Firefighters said many people jumped off the building in a bid to save themselves from the blaze and three of them succumbed to their injuries on Thursday.

A total of 18 firefighting units managed to bring the fire at the six-storey building of the local factory under control, after a day of fighting at around 3:00 pm local time Friday, said Billah.

But local media reports say the fire in the factory has not yet been completely doused though it was almost under control since Thursday night.

TV reports Friday night showed fires were still raging in some parts of the factory.
