Three people died after jumping from the blazing 19-floor building while two others appeared to have died from the effects of the blaze, officials said. Shoikot Rahman ran to safety after hearing colleagues raise the alarm, narrowly escaping the smoke and flames engulfing the building. 'When I heard a fire broke out in the building, I quickly rushed out of the building,' he said. A massive blaze in Dhaka's old quarter last month killed at least 70 people and injured 50 others. In 2012, a fire raced through a garment factory on the outskirts of Dhaka, killing at least 112 people trapped behind its locked gates.
