Fire razed down a dormitory at Njia Boys Secondary School in Igembe, Meru County destroying property worth millions.
Video obtained by Kenyans.co.ke showed a fierce inferno furiously razing down the Jamhuri Dormitory while firefighters attempted to put out the fire.
Police officers could be seen at the scene of the incident guiding the firefighters, most of whom were wellwishers fetching water using buckets.
Sources at the scene confirmed that emergency services rapidly responded and were working to put out the inferno.
Njia Boys Boarding Secondary School is a public extra-county level boys institution located in Maua town in Meru County.
No fatalities or injuries had been recorded at the time of publishing this story. The source of that fire was also yet to be established.
This was not the first time a fire incident was reported at the school. In 2019, an inferno erupted leaving one student burnt beyond recognition. The victim’s death was identified a day later after taking a roll call.
