The Executive Secretary of Kimironko sector, Mapambano Nyiridandi has told IGIHE that police fire brigade and citizens intervened and extinguished the fire before destroying all equipment.
“They have intervened to extinguish the fire before burning all equipment but we have not yet established the value of destroyed property. Investigations are underway to establish the cause of fire but we have learnt that it started with sparks that lit mattresses as a plumber repaired the water system,” he said.
