A catastrophic fire erupted last night at Dr. Aggrey High School in Wundanyi, Taita Taveta County, resulting in the destruction of a dormitory and leaving numerous students without their belongings.
According to police reports, the fire is believed to have been ignited by electrical issues exacerbated by the heavy rains affecting the area.
The flames broke out shortly after the students had completed their evening meals and were on their way to night classes. Firefighters responded quickly and were able to control the fire, stopping it from spreading to other structures.
Thankfully, there were no reported injuries. School officials have reassured students to stay calm as they work to assist those impacted.
Parents and community leaders have been informed, and steps are being taken to ensure that educational activities can continue smoothly.
