SINGAPORE: A Bangladeshi firefighter who was injured trying to rescue people from a burning office tower in Dhaka last month died while undergoing treatment at the Singapore General Hospital, the Dhaka Tribune reported on Monday (Apr 8).
Sohel Rana sustained "serious injuries" in the Mar 28 fatal blaze at the 22-storey FR Tower in Bangladesh's congested capital.

Six people leaped to their deaths.
According to The Daily Star, Rana was one of the first responders to the scene. Rana had rescued those who were trapped while his colleagues tried to put out the fire.
