At least 38 people have been killed after a fire erupted in a psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of Moscow that housed as many as 41 people, including medical staff, authorities say.

That number is feared to rise as Emergency Ministry says the hospital housed 41 people at the time of the incident.

The fire started around 2:30 am Moscow Time (22:30 GMT) in Psychiatric hospital 14 in Ramenskoe. By the time fire rescue arrived, the entire one-story building was engulfed in flames.

Rescuers using floodlights worked into the night Wednesday to try to free dozens of people believed trapped in a collapsed eight-story building that housed garment factories near Bangladesh's capital, killing at least 87.

Searchers cut holes in the jumbled mess of concrete with drills or their bare hands, and passed water and flashlights to those pinned inside.

"I gave them whistles, water, torchlights. I heard them cry. We can't leave them behind this way," said fire official Abul Khayer. Rescue operations continued through the night.

Former President George W. Bush steered clear of any detailed reflection on his legacy during a recent interview with USA Today, saying that his actions over eight years in the White House largely speak for themselves.

"There's no need to defend myself," Bush said in an interview published over the weekend, in anticipation of an opening ceremony for his presidential library at Southern Methodist University. "I did what I did and ultimately history will judge."
