An eyewitness to the blaze that ripped through a police facility in the Egyptian Suez Canal city of Ismailia early on Monday said the entire building caught on fire in 15 minutes.
Abdel Rahman Bahaa, who was at the scene since the fire started, said that volunteers tried to rescue people stuck in the building while waiting for the full force of firefighting trucks to arrive.
At least 25 people were injured in a preliminary count of casualties, the Egyptian Ambulance Authority said.
