[Ynet] A top Egyptian civil defense official says a massive fire has erupted at a power plant in northern Cairo, requiring 20 fire trucks to put it out.
Police Maj. Gen. Gamal Halawa said by telephone that Thursday's fire is now under control. The fire, he says, was caused by an kaboom at a generator unit.
Officials at the power station say the fire was caused by a "technical failure" and that an investigation into the incident was underway. They do not suspect foul play.
