A fire has broken out at a girls’ school in central Kenya just two days after a boarding school inferno killed 21 boys.
Firefighters were battling a blaze at a girls’ school in central Kenya, just two days after an inferno killed 21 boys at another school.
The latest inferno, reported on Saturday evening, took place at Isiolo Girls High School, in Isiolo County in central Kenya.
“Around two to three buildings are on fire”, Isiolo County communications director Hussein Salesa told AFP news agency.
National police spokeswoman Resila Onyango said a fire incident had been reported at the school at around 8pm (17:00 GMT).
“Officers from Isiolo Sub County rushed to the scene and the fire has been contained with assistance by Kenya Defence Forces and Isiolo airport fire engines,” she said in a statement.
