Dormitory and property worth thousands of shillings was razed down in a fire incident at Okelo Mixed Secondary School in Rarieda on Sunday night.
The fire at the dormitory that hosts 20 students was discovered at around 8:30pm when it had already burnt most of the students’ belongings.
According to the Assistant Chief of West Katweng’a sub-location Esau Oduru, a female student who had gone to the toilet is the one who noticed that the dormitory was on fire and sounded alarm alerting school staff and other students who were in class for evening study.
Despite attempts to put out the fire nothing was salvaged from the dormitory that housed 20 students. According to Mr Oduru, no casualties or injuries were reported during the incident as the cause of the fire is yet to be established but investigations are ongoing.
