Fire razed down a school dormitory at Kitanga, Kathiani sub-county in Machakos.
The boys school which is located close to 2km from Makutano junction is counting losses as the fire destroyed students' properties.
It started while the students were in the entertainment hall.
The cause of the fire is still not clearly known but it is suspected that a rogue student must have committed that act of an arson.
When smoke was seen coming from the dormitory, students and staff rushed and put off the fire. No one was hurt but the fire razed down boxes containing uniforms, books and students' personal effects.
Those students directly affected by the incident could not attend classes on Monday as their books and uniforms got burnt.
Kitanga boys high school is located on a hilly terrain. Its proximity to Machakos town makes it an ideal place as the students are close to amenities such as Machakos level five hospital.
The same week, students of Moi University were injured in Eldoret as fire razed down their hostels.
