48 Students at Thika High School for the Blind lose everything as fire guts down 2 dormitories.

48 students from Thika High School for the Blind have lost all  their belongings after an inferno gutted down two dormitories on Monday night.

The fire that was reported at around 8pm broke out when the students were in their respective classrooms for the evening preps.

According to those who responded to the fire incidents, an impromptu roll call conducted after the Thika Fire Service put off the flames, none of the students was injured as they were all away from the dormitories.

The course of the fire is yet to be established but some sources suspect that it might have been ignited by an electric fault.

Each of the two dorms holds 24 students. By the time we went to press, the school administration was working out ways to relocate the affected students to other rooms as they chatted the way forward.

Later in the night, a team from the area MP Eng. Patrick Wainaina visited the school and donated beddings to the affected students.
