The injured were transferred to Ahrar Hospital in Zagazig.
The emergency department director at Sharqiya Health Directorate, Essam Farahat, said the hospital received eight injured with burns to their faces and hands.

The security personnel called for help through the window and citizens rescued them out of the room, according to Nour Eddin.
Nour Eddin said the condition of the injured was stable.
