St Peters Mumias Boys School Razed by Fire

A devastating fire broke out at St Peters Boys High School in Mumias, Kakamega County, destroying a section of the dormitory that housed 90 students.

The fire was discovered around 6pm on a Sunday when the students had gone to the dining hall for supper. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident, but the students lost all their personal belongings and bedding in the inferno.

Crisphinus Owino, the school principal, expressed shock and sadness over the incident. The school authorities immediately called for help, and firefighters from Kakamega County government rushed to the scene to battle the flames before they could spread to other buildings.

The cause of the fire is yet to be determined, and Mr Owino mentioned that it could have been caused by an electrical fault or possibly even started deliberately by one of the students. Investigations are ongoing to ascertain the exact cause of the fire.

In the aftermath of the fire, the school has taken measures to support the affected students. Mr Owino stated that arrangements have been made to accommodate 80 students in other dormitories, using extra mattresses and double-decker beds.

However, plans are still being made to provide temporary accommodation for the remaining 10 students who have been displaced by the fire.

“We have some extra mattresses and double-decker beds to take care of 80 students. We are still making arrangements for the remaining 10 learners,” said Mr Owino.

Despite the unfortunate incident, Mr Owino assured that the school would not let it disrupt the education of the affected students. Steps have been taken to ensure that their studies will continue uninterrupted.

The school is determined to provide support and assistance to the students during this challenging time.
