The fire that broke out today morning in the boys dormitory at Namirembe Hillside school along Kampala-Gayaza has been contained.
Deputy Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson, Luke Oweyesigire, says the fire gutted the senior two boys dormitory.
“The exact cause of the fire is still being investigated and when we have it we shall be able to inform you,” he said in a message sent out to journalists.
He explained that the fire gutted property on the two upper floors where it broke out but none was damaged on the third floor. Some of the students escaped with minor injuries as they attempted to drag out their suitcases.
