What happened
A fire was reported at Desco’s sub-station at Tejgaon, with two people reported injured. The available report is a headline only. Cause, the extent of damage, the emergency response and whether power supply was affected were not reported.
Lessons learned
- A reported substation fire with injuries is a prompt to account for people on site and restrict access until the area is declared safe.
- Headline reports often omit cause and damage, so operators should keep evidence and records for a later review.
- Isolation and a safe approach should be confirmed before anyone re-enters a substation after a fire.
