Metropolis Desk-
At least 38 people were hurt on Monday when a large fire broke out at a police station in northern Egypt. It took firefighters several hours to put out the fire, according to authorities.
At the Ismailia Security Directorate headquarters, northeast of Cairo, officers from the Egyptian Armed Forces and the Suez Canal Authority also participated in fire and rescue efforts.
The facility is currently being cooled, according to officials. Hospitals in the Ismailia Governorate are now better equipped to handle injured patients thanks to the Ministry of Health and Population. 50 fully prepared ambulances, according to Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, a ministry official, were dispatched to the scene.
The official claimed that the hospitals in the governorate had access to all emergency drugs and blood types.
Twelve injured people at the scene, according to Abdel Ghaffar, received medical care from ambulances.
According to the official, Ismailia Medical Complex received 26 additional injured patients, including 24 cases of suffocation and two cases of burns.
After recuperating, seven injured patients were let out of the hospital.
Mahmoud Tawfik, Egypt’s interior minister, looked over the scene of the fire.
In order to get the building back in working order as soon as possible, he appointed a committee of professionals to investigate the fire’s origin and assess the building’s structural safety.
The minister insisted that the injured must receive all necessary care up until they are fully recovered.
A team from the Ismailia Public Prosecution went to the scene to perform inspections and interview witnesses and patients who had been hurt in hospitals.
The Ismailia Security Directorate building fire has not yet been the subject of an official announcement.
When Sherif Fahmy Bishara, the governor of Ismailia, visited the injured people, he urged that they receive complete medical attention.
