Huge flames of the fire emanated from the area as it spread fast. Firefighters said they had difficulties accessing the site of the fire.
“The engines cannot get in and the fighters are here making calls. There is no road there,” said Jack Okinyi, a resident at Southlands.
He added that the fire spread fast due to heavy winds and presence of cooking gas that exploded in intervals as locals fought it with bare hands and other crude weapons.
Nearby estates Onyonka and Southlands were under threat and some residents rushed to their houses to pick valuables in case they were affected.
