The fire engulfs the makeshift Isolation Unit of the hospital Rajib Dhar



All of the deceased were being treated at the isolation unit

At least five patients have died in a devastating fire incident at the makeshift Coronavirus Unit of United Hospital in Dhaka, Gulshan Police OC SM Kamruzzaman said.

The Fire Service and Civil Defence sent three units to the spot after the fire broke out around 9:55pm on Wednesday.

Brigadier General Sazzad Hossain, Director General (DG) of Bangladesh Fire Service and Civil Defence, said: “The firefighters have recovered five bodies from the makeshift isolation unit.”

He, however, said they were not sure about the source of the fire. “It will be confirmed after the investigation,” said the DG.

The Covid-19 unit of the hospital was a tent-like makeshift structure which did not have sufficient firefighting equipment, he added.

The dead included four men and a woman, said Baridhara fire station’s Senior Station Officer Abul Kalam Azad.

They have been identified as Monir Hossain, 75, Mohammad Mahbub, 50, Vernon Anthony Paul, 74, Riazul Alam, 45 and Khodeja Begum, 70.

Sudip Kumar Chakraborty, DC of (Gulshan Division) of DMP, said that three of the five victims were Covid-19 positive while the rest two found to be negative.

The coronavirus positive victims will be buried with the help of DGHS maintaining WHO guidelines, he said.

“The hospital authorities will hand over the other bodies to their relatives,” he added.

Alamgir Hossain, son of deceased Khodeja Begum, said they got her admitted to the hospital the day before Eid with Covid-19 symptoms.

But, her test result came out negative, he said, adding: “She was supposed to be released from the hospital soon.”

Three firefighting units rushed to the spot and doused the fire around 10:30pm, Kamrul Islam, duty officer at the Fire Service and Civil Defence Headquarters, said.

Dr. Shagufa Anwar, the chief of the Communication & Business Development Unit of the hospital, said the fire broke out at Coronavirus Isolation Unit, setup on the badminton court besides the main building.

Investigation committee formed

The fire service has formed a four-member probe body, headed by Deputy Director (Dhaka) Debasis Bardhan, to investigate into the incident

Very sad indeed, I found out a few hours ago.

Apparently it started from an air conditioning unit and get this the makeshift isolation unit is built on a badminton court beside the hospital.

It's quite clear that the only reason this hospital opened such a ward, was to make money from the current epidemic and now people have had to pay the ultimate price.

From what I have read, there was a lack of fire extinguishers in the isolation unit too, I think once the fire started, nobody came to help as these people had Corona. It's very sad all the dead were Corona patients and atleast a few would have recovered.

The number of corona deaths are increasing in Bangladesh. The illiterate people of Bangladesh are still not careful. They are roaming around without precautions. This virus might become dangerous in BD.

People of South Asia are all like this, mark my words the last few countries to get rid of covid-19 will be India Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Makeshift hospitals aren’t opened to make money
But proper fire extinguishing measures hadn’t been taken

I see this as population control. These hogs are burden to the economy anyways.

I think fire was caused by short Circuit in Chinese ventilator.

I think no one should show sympathy for these people. When they willingly want to die, then why should we stop them. They don't even care.
