tragedy happened in Gituamba, Gitaru, Kabete, when a fire killed three children.
The horrific fire overtook eight residences, killing the little victims, who were six, four, and only three months old.
Local authorities, led by OCPD Antony Mbogo, are presently investigating the fire’s cause.
Meanwhile, in Garissa County, another wildfire erupted on the same day, just a month after Isiolo’s grasslands were destroyed.
According to the Kenya Red Cross, the fire extended to Modogashe, Eresaburu, and Gurufu, all along the Isiolo-Garissa border.
Although the exact moment of the fire’s onset is unknown, some accounts indicate it started about lunchtime.
According to images from the scene, the fire remained active late into the evening.
Emergency response personnel are collaborating with local community members to put out the fire, which is thought to have begun in the Sabena grazing zone before spreading swiftly to neighboring places.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but the dry weather in the region has made it difficult to suppress the flames.
Authorities have encouraged locals to remain attentive and adopt safety precautions as the fire spreads.
This current fire follows last month’s inferno in Isiolo, which destroyed more than 300,000 acres of grazing area, leaving many herders unable to find pasture for their animals.
According to reports, the Isiolo fire was caused by human error.
