Property belonging to hundreds of students was destroyed on Thursday night after a fire burnt down a dormitory at Dr Aggrey High School in Wundanyi, Taita Taveta County.
According to reports, the fire broke out around 7 pm when the students were heading for their evening lessons after having their supper.
Efforts by the students and some villagers to put out the fire proved futile, as the inferno destroyed the recently constructed dormitory.
Videos and images shared on the internet showed the dormitory entirely engulfed in smoke, while students stood at a distance watching their property go up in flames.
