Anba Morcos, Bishop of Shubral-Kheima, thanked the imam of the neighbouring mosque for his help.
Since the fire had erupted during the dawn hours, the imam of the neighbouring mosque first spotted it and, using the mosque loudspeaker, alerted the neighbours and sent out a cry for help. Anba Morcos praised the collaboration of the Muslims and Copts who helped saved the church and entire neighbourhood from a certain catastrophe.
