Civil defense troops are still acting to control a fire that erupted earlier Wednesday at a hall of the Cairo International Conference Center (CICC) in Nasr City.
Sixteen fire trucks have been dispatched to quickly put out the fire, while military helicopters intervened to prevent flames from extending to other halls.
Six ambulances also rushed to the scene to move any casualties.
Police cordoned off the area and a number of detours were made to allow ambulances and fire trucks to quickly reach the fire scene, and to ease congestion along Salah Salem Street.
