Fire razed down a dormitory at Njia Boys Secondary School in Igembe, Meru County destroying property worth millions.
A video circulating in the internet 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 a roll call was taken by the management of the school.
This comes hardly a day after a fire erupted at Isiolo Girls High School and Hillside Endarasha Academy claiming 21 lives of young pupils.
The string of fires in the third term of the school calendar raises alarm and concern.
It comes as the Education PS Belio Kipsang on Wednesday, September 4, directed that the ban on school activities and visiting be enforced with full compliance.
It's not clear whether, the ban is related to the fires erupting in schools.
