A huge fire broke out at a warehouse of the
refrigerator factory of Toshiba Al-Araby Group in Quesna industrial zone,
Menoufia Governorate, to the north of Cairo, on Saturday.
The fire is still raging and a large number of casualties were rushed to a
nearby hospital; some workers are believed to be trapped inside.
Menoufia Governor Ashaf Al-Feki, who inspected the site, asked the armed
forces to send helicopters in order to back up the firefighting and worker
evacuation efforts.
Fire fighters from the civil protection directorates of Quesna, Shebin
Al-Kom and Berkat Al-Sab'e are still battling to prevent the spread of the
fire to nearby plants. |
