Business people are tallying up their losses following a fire that erupted at City Stadium on the evening of Tuesday, January 30. The Kenya Red Cross verified the occurrence, indicating that the fire took place at the roundabout near Jogoo Road.
Motorists plying the road had earlier reported a huge smoke coming from the area with the majority trying to pinpoint the location of the fire.
Businessmen and women around the vicinity were seen stranded, some of them watch their businesses consumed by the fire. Others whose businesses are adjacent to the ones ablaze attempted to salvage some of their products by moving back into the stalls and taking them out.
Volunteers were also seen pushing onlookers behind in an effort to contain the surging crowd
The incident, whose cause is yet to be identified, has led to a huge crowd gathering around the area and increased traffic jam along the road. Although response teams indicated that they were at the scene, the extent of the damage to the goods and traders present is not yet clear.
