**A massive fire broke out this evening inside a small kiosk located beneath a pedestrian bridge adjacent to a well-known commercial establishment on the Ring Road in the Maadi area.** The incident sparked panic among citizens and passersby due to the fire’s proximity to a busy, high-traffic area with continuous commercial activity.

The emergency operations room at the Security Directorate received an urgent report about flames and thick smoke rising from the kiosk beneath the bridge. Firefighting units from the Civil Protection Forces were immediately dispatched and reached the scene in record time. They promptly began fire containment efforts while implementing all necessary safety precautions.

Authorities set up a tight security perimeter around the burning area to secure the site, prevent civilian access, and ensure that the flames would not spread to nearby establishments. The fire’s location in a densely active zone with surrounding shops added to the risk. Specialized teams continue to work on extinguishing the fire, under close supervision from senior security officials.

A report on the incident is currently being prepared for submission to the appropriate investigative bodies, which will examine the true cause of the fire—whether it resulted from an electrical fault, negligence, or other factors still under review.

**In a separate incident, Civil Protection Forces in Giza successfully contained a fire that broke out near a factory located in the Third Industrial Zone of 6th of October City.** The fire had ignited among piles of waste and plastic containers accumulated near the facility.

Authorities received reports from citizens about thick smoke and flames erupting in the vicinity of the factory. Fire crews, equipped with firefighting gear, responded swiftly and professionally to tackle the blaze.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the fire originated in an area containing flammable materials near chemical substances inside the factory perimeter — posing a significant risk to both the structure and its workers. However, the alertness and strategic action of the civil defense teams succeeded in confining and extinguishing the fire before it could spread further.

An official report was filed, and concerned authorities have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the fire and take appropriate legal action. Monitoring efforts are ongoing in case of further developments.
