Videos that have since gone viral have shown students at a fire assembly point with current reports indicating that the school administration is trying to get help from Isiolo County fire trucks to help put out the fire.
It’s however still unclear whether there were students in the dormitory by the time of incident. However, the school is yet to issue a statement on the probable cause of the fire and if there were any injuries as a result of the incident.
While confirming the incident, Red Cross Society said that a rescue team has been dispatched to the Isiolo Girls school as rescue efforts start underway at the school.
This comes amid several reports of rising cases of fire incidents in various boarding schools after the most tragic incident at the Hillside Endarasha Academy where death toll has risen to 21 after three other students succumbed to injuries.
