Response team from the Interior Ministry and Nairobi County helped to put out the fire.
“I wish to emphasise that the fire was in one building only, and that all boys and staff at the Centre have been accounted for” said the director.
Most of the boys went for the midterm break today and the few who were at the school when the fire broke out were all accounted for.
