The fire that broke out Wednesday morning but the Nairobi county fire brigade moved in swiftly to contain it.

However, one question on the lips of everyone is: why the constant fire outbreaks?

In June, 15 people lost their lives after another fire incident razed down stalls and houses at the market. 

Other fire incidents at the market occurred on September 10, 2017, before another one on October 6, the same year. 

Similar incidents occurred in 2014 and 2015. 

The question is, could these fires be a hand of someone?
