Earlier on Sunday, two people were pulled out alive and rescuers are trying to free another. Smoke was seen pouring from a section of the building, stopping rescue work in that area, although efforts continued in other parts.
But hopes are fading that many more survivors will be found. The eight-storey building in Savar, on the outskirts of Dhaka, was a garment factory and the presence of clothing may have worsened the blaze, correspondents say.
Brig Gen Mohammed Siddiqul Alam Shikder, overseeing the rescue work, said: "Hopefully we will be able to control it."
It is unclear what happened to the woman whom rescuers were trying to free.
The rescuers had brought in cutters and heavy lifting equipment after determining that light equipment could no longer do the job.

At least 3,000 are estimated to have been in the building when it collapsed. About 2,430 are now known to have survived.
There is no official figure on the number of people still missing, but Akram Hossain, a deputy director of the fire service, said their chances of survival were "diminishing by the minute".
Earlier, local government minister Jahangir Kabir Nanak announced the arrest of Mohammed Sohel Rana by loudspeaker at the site of the collapse, to cheers from rescue workers.
The factory owner was detained near the land-crossing in Benapole along the border with India's West Bengal state by Rapid Action Battalion soldiers.
Bangladeshi TV later showed Mr Rana in handcuffs after being flown back to Dhaka by helicopter.
The building housed several garment factories.
Six people, including three factory owners and two engineers, have now been arrested.
Anger at the building collapse has triggered days of violent protests in Dhaka.
On Sunday, garment workers blockaded a main road in a nearby industrial zone of Gazipur demanding capital punishment for those responsible.
Bangladesh has one of the largest garment industries in the world, providing cheap clothing for major Western retailers that benefit from its widespread low-cost labour.
But the industry has been widely criticised for its low pay and limited rights given to workers and for the often dangerous working conditions in garment factories.
