Reports indicate that the Nairobi County Fire Engines arrived at the scene of the fire approximately an hour later. 

No casualties have been reported so far.

The fire broke out hours after a four-storey building collapsed in Kariobangi estate with zero casualties reported.

The tenants quickly evacuated the building after they noticed cracks on the walls of the building. 

Eyewitnesses said the building began trembling at around 8 pm last night.

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko visited the scene on Saturday following the incident.
