A local administrator, Caren Onyango of Kobura location chief Caren Onyango who confirmed the incident reported that nothing was salvaged from the girls dormitory.

Onyango says attempts by the locals and students to extinguish the fire bore no fruit.

Fire brigade from Kisumu arrived late, due the distance and found when the fire has engulfed the whole building.

Onyango further announced that there was no casualty recorded but a number of students sustained slight injuries as they were fleeing from the burning dormitory.

"They were assisted to a nearby sub county hospital, treated and discharged," said the chief.
