Isiolo County Fire & Rescue services

A fire broke out in a dormitory at Isiolo Boys High School this evening. Thanks to the quick response from Isiolo County Fire & Rescue services, the blaze was promptly contained. No injuries have been reported, and all students and staff are safe.

Governor Abdi Ibrahim Hassan praised the rapid response in a tweet: “A dormitory fire at Isiolo Boys High School was swiftly contained by our Fire & Rescue team, with no casualties reported. Grateful for the swift action of all responders.” This comes amid national concerns over recent school fires.

This incident highlights a troubling trend of school fires in Kenya. Recently, a fire at a Isiolo Girls High School injured three students, and another fire in Nyeri tragically claimed 21 lives. These events have raised significant concerns about safety standards in boarding schools.

Authorities are investigating the cause of the Isiolo Boys High School fire, and an assessment of the damage is underway. Governor Abdi reassured parents that measures are being taken to enhance student safety.

The prompt action by Isiolo’s Fire and Rescue team underscores the importance of effective emergency response in protecting students during such emergencies.
