CAIRO, Feb 11 (Aswat Masriya) One Egyptian was killed early on Tuesday when a massive fire erupted in slums in north east of Cairo, Egypt's interior ministry said.

The fire partially destroyed the Shaikh Mansour Bridge which passes over the slums where the fire erupted in the Marg neighborhood. 

One man from the Civil Protection Forces was killed while another was wounded during efforts to put down the fire, which are still ongoing as investigations take place. 

Egypt's head of the underground service has said that the metro will not be going to the last three stations on the Marg Line, pointing to fears that the bridge might collapse further due to the damages caused by the fire.
