    作品简介：

    在达卡贫民区、服装加工厂和购物中心，火灾的威胁无所不在。无论是人为的还是意外的，都对工人阶级造成了一定的伤害。由于城市发展过快，没有健全的防火措施，再加上官员腐败、违章建筑、商人唯利是图，这一切都使得工人的住处以及工作场所充满安全隐患。受影响最大的是孟加拉国的服装加工业。它作为孟加拉国最重要的支柱产业，每年出口收入超过190亿美元。然而，2005年以来，服装厂火灾已造成600余名工人丧生。

    Both man-made and accidental fires are an omnipresent threat bringing death and injury to the working class communities of Dhaka in the slum, garment factories and the shopping malls. Corrupt officials who ignore building codes and greedy businessmen who bypass fire protection have both made home and work spaces death traps. Because the city has grown too quickly, lack of fire safety precaution is everywhere.
The impact, however, is most visible in the garment industry of Bangladesh, which is also the country's most successful business sector, earning $19 billion from exports last year alone. Factory fires have killed 600 garment workers since 2005.
