Mirpur, Bangladesh, Feb 1 (IBNS) At least 13 people were killed in a massive factory fire in Bangladesh's Mirpur on Saturday, said media reports.
 
A six storied factory building- APCCO Complex- was all in flames as the fire swept through the housing stored with Styrofoam, which is a trademarked brand of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam currently made for thermal insulation and craft applications. 
 
Explosions were heard and seen as fire leapt out of the building and killing many, including women. 
 
Eight bodies were recovered in charred condition.
 
In 2013, a big fire in a building housing garment factoris in Bangladesh killed more than 1000 people as the house had also collapsed. 
 
A fire at a garment factory killed 112 workers in 2012 too in the country.
