Around 180 students of Cheptenye Boys High School in Belgut, Kericho County have spent the night in the cold after two dormitories, burnt down early Tuesday morning.
Staff members said the fire started when the students were taking their breakfast and at press time, the cause of the fire was yet to be established.
They rushed to the scene and attempted to rescue their belongings but the fire had already engulfed the entire building due to the prevailing windy condition.
Despite the fact that nobody was hurt during the incident, students’ personal belongings were completely destroyed.
A fire brigade from the county government of Kericho arrived at the school later and could not assist much in putting out the embers.
