Fire Destroys Shops in Nairobi CBD
A fire has broken out in a building situated along Kumasi Road in Nairobi's Central Business District.
Footage obtained by 8t8 media.shows the topmost floor in the high-rise building, located next to Barkat Biashara Mall opposite Simba Coach booking centre, engulfed in flames.
Smoke could be seen billowing from the building as curious onlookers observed from a distance. From the footage, emergency fire services were seen on the scene even as the cause of the inferno remained unknown.
While there are no official reports on the number of casualties or injuries resulting from the fire, the inferno has led to the destruction of several shops, leading to property of unknown value going up in flames.
Clips circulating on social media showed business owners in surrounding areas moving quickly to close their shops, fearing the blaze could easily spread to the neighbouring buildings.
Others could be seen going about their business, even as the crowd milling around the area grew larger. All this while, emergency services engaged in evacuation efforts for those feared to be inside the building at the time the fire broke out.
