Five members of a family including a child suffered burn injuries in a fire in Fatullah area of Narayanganj early Tuesday, reports UNB.

The injured are Mishal,26, a garment worker, his wife Mita,23, their one and a half year old child Minhaj and Mishal's two brother-in-law- Mahfuz and Sajib.
Belal Hossain said neighbours extinguished the blaze before they reached the spot.

Family sources said the fire might have originated from a leakage in the gas line of the flat.
