A night fire has razed a section of a Form Two dormitory at St. Joseph's Seminary Senior School in Molo, Nakuru County, leaving a trail of destruction.
The incident occurred during the night when students were asleep, forcing a hurried evacuation from the building.
School administration and local authorities confirmed that all students were accounted for after the head count, which was conducted immediately after the rescue operation.
No casualties were reported from the scene, but emergency responders noted that a significant amount of student property was lost in the inferno.
Personal belongings, including books, bedding, and uniforms, were reduced to ashes before the flames could be brought under control. The cause of the fire remains unknown.
Investigating officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and local police arrived at the institution to assess the damage and begin inquiries.
They are examining the electrical system and interviewing staff to determine what triggered the outbreak.
The school management has initiated temporary accommodation arrangements for the affected Form Two students to ensure learning resumes with minimal disruption.
Distraught parents traveled to the institution early in the morning seeking reassurance about the safety of their children.
County disaster management teams have urged school authorities to review safety protocols, particularly emergency exits and firefighting equipment placement.
