Three children who were siblings tragically lost their lives last night in Gachie, Kiambu County, following a devastating fire incident. The fire broke out at around 3 a.m., catching the family by surprise while they were asleep.
One child, an eight-year-old boy, narrowly escaped the blaze. He is currently admitted at Kihara Level Four Hospital where he is receiving treatment for burn injuries. His condition is being closely monitored by medical staff.
According to initial reports, the children’s mother was not at home when the fire occurred. The absence of an adult at the time may have contributed to the severity of the tragedy, though investigations are ongoing to determine the exact cause of the fire.
The heartbreaking incident has left the Gachie community in shock and mourning, with local leaders and residents calling for increased safety awareness and support for the grieving family.
