CAIRO, Egypt - A 12-story building collapsed in a Cairo suburb Monday night after a fire broke out in the lower floors, trapping at least 18 people in the rubble, police said.
Most of the people trapped in the building are firefighters and policemen dispatched to put out the blaze, police officials said.
They said a fire broke out at an Egyptian fast-food restaurant on the ground floor of the building, prompting many tenants on the upper floors to evacuate before the structure buckled from the heat.
The police officials, who spoke on customary condition of anonymity, said 16 firemen and policemen as well as two civilians were inside the building when it fell down.
The building fell down in Nasr City, an eastern suburb of the Egyptian capital near the airport. The area is home to many high-rise residential buildings and shopping areas.
Building collapses are common in Egypt and are often caused by shoddy construction or the unauthorized building of extra stories.
The last such incident was May 4, when a seven-story apartment block in Cairo collapsed, killing at least seven people.
Keep us posted Shawn. Thanks
