“The boarders were already in class and day scholars were arriving when the fire broke out in one the dormitories,” he said.
Mwangi said that the fire spread fast making it hard to contain due to the mattresses in the dormitories.

A witness Samuel Mukundi said that nothing was salvaged from the dormitory due to the intensity of the fire.
Speaking on phone, Naivasha deputy OCPD Paul Korir said that investigations into the incident had started adding that no one had been injured.
