Tuesday 31 May 2011. The time is 8:30am. The fire broke out in the Female's hostel a.k.a Block A. Cause of the fire was said to be a heater which one of the girls left on (which I really doubt as this is not possible because normally the main switch of the residential places is usually turned off at 8:00am, which was the case during this incident), others said cigarette. mmmm might be! whatever the cause.....
The good news is that, no one was injured physically, but psychologically, I saw some two ladies crying. We didn't get access into the interior, but the huge smoke from that room could suggest that some few thing must have been fully consumed by the fire. The blaze was however contained by the college's machinery before it caused more damage. Nyeri Fire Services arrived minutes later, something that impressed me, comparing to the slow responses we get from the Nairobi one. The OCP and the rest of government crew checking in there after with the College principal.
