On Tuesday night, a devastating fire engulfed several vehicles at a garage located off Ole Dume Road in Kilimani, Nairobi, leaving mechanics and vehicle owners devastated by their losses. The blaze broke out during the night, prompting an urgent response from the Nairobi County Disaster Management Centre. Police chief Issa Mohamud confirmed that no lives were lost in the incident, while Nairobi County official Geoffrey Mosiria reported that emergency teams were deployed following a distress call.
Mosiria, who visited the scene, coordinated the response alongside disaster management officers, local residents, and garage mechanics. The fire's intensity was exacerbated by the presence of petrol and other highly flammable materials within the garage, making firefighting operations both challenging and hazardous for emergency personnel.
Containment efforts took over four hours due to the materials involved. Mosiria expressed his gratitude to the Disaster Management officers, residents, and mechanics who assisted in extinguishing the fire and offered his condolences to the affected mechanics and vehicle owners as investigators worked to determine the cause of the fire.
