CAIRO – 10 July 2025: A limited fire has broken out again on one of the floors of Ramses Telephone Exchange on Thursday. Civil defense personnel managed to control the fire shortly and prevented it from reaching other floors.
On Monday, a huge fire erupted at the central Ramses Telephone Exchange and temporarily disrupted phone and internet services, as well as some banking operations and online transactions, and led the Egyptian stock exchange to suspend trading on the following day.
President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has instructed the formation of a specialized committee to investigate the causes of the fire that erupted at Ramses Exchange in downtown Cairo.
Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly highlighted the president’s directives in a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday in the wake of the massive fire that claimed the lives of four workers and injured dozens more.
The prime minister stressed the importance of promptly completing various tasks and measures to ensure the restoration of services provided through the exchange building to their normal levels and quality.
Madbouly also extended his appreciation and gratitude to the civil defense and ambulance personnel for their tireless efforts in responding to the incident and for their work in extinguishing the fire that affected the building.
The bodies of the four engineers who died during the fire were recovered from the scene on Monday.
