Properties of unknown value on Wednesday night went up in flames after a mysterious fire broke out at the Kawangware Estate in Nairobi.
According to witnesses, the fire broke out in one of the buildings a few minutes before 9pm and quickly spread to other residential buildings, which also housed people's businesses.
However, initial attempts by the locals to put out the fire proved futile as the flames escalated, forcing them to seek help from the Nairobi County government.
Moments later, firefighters from the Nairobi County Government Disaster Management team arrived at the scene and put out the fire, which had already consumed several properties.
