Civil Protection authorities in Giza have denied reports circulating on social media about a fire breaking out at Ceramica Cleopatra Mall in the 6th of October City.
In an official statement, the October Fire Department confirmed that the incident did not occur inside the mall, but involved a minor fire in waste materials adjacent to the Cleopatra Ceramica Mall, near Hyper One on the Central Axis Road.
“Fire crews were dispatched immediately following a report of smoke in the area,” the department said. “Upon inspection, it was determined that the flames had engulfed a pile of discarded materials near the mall’s perimeter—not inside the commercial facility itself.”
The fire was swiftly brought under control, and no injuries or property damage were reported, according to the fire department.
Images published by Sada El-Balad early Sunday morning show Ceramica Mall completely intact, countering misleading reports spread on various websites and social media platforms overnight.
Authorities urged the public to rely on verified sources for information and avoid spreading unconfirmed news that could incite unnecessary panic.
