Property of unknown value was destroyed on Sunday evening after a fire razed part of Mamboleo Market in Kisumu, near the city's bus stage.
The fire started at a food joint in the lakeside city and quickly spread to nearby structures, mostly made of aluminum.
The raging flames, which ignited shortly after 9 p.m., threatened to engulf other investments near the Kisumu County bus park.
However, business occupants, with assistance from local authorities, managed to contain the fire before it spread further.
