A dormitory fire broke out at Isiolo Girls High School on the evening of September 7, 2024, causing significant damage.
Thankfully, no casualties have been reported so far.
The blaze started in one of the dormitories and spread to a laboratory, prompting an emergency response from the Kenya Red Cross and local authorities.
Efforts to contain the fire involved fire engines from both the Isiolo Airport and the Kenya Defence Forces, as the county’s fire engine encountered mechanical issues on-site.
The fire was eventually contained later that evening.

Evacuations of students and staff were carried out to ensure their safety during the fire.
