A person was killed in a huge fire that erupted in a red brick factory in Dakahlia caused by a gas leakage. Eight fire engines rushed to the plant after loud explosions were heard after 50 gas cylinders had exploded out of a total of 300 at the factory. Firefighters managed to get the remaining 250 highly flammable cylinders out of the site before the flames reach them. The factory is located at Meit al-Ezz village.
