Fire engulfed several buildings at the Kisumu Boys High School in Kisumu county on Saturday, August 20.
Preliminary reports indicated that the fire broke out minutes past 9 am, with its cause yet to be established.
The majority of the buildings affected were classrooms, with nearly five engulfed in the fire.
One dormitory was also reported to have caught fire in the process before being contained.
Police and firefighters rushed to the institution to contain the fire as the students were evacuated to a safer area.
Additionally, emergency service providers from the Kenya Airport Authority (KAA) were deployed to assist the county firefighters to salvage the situation.
As a precaution, the students were asked to remove their personal belongings from the dormitories as the administrators feared that the fire would spread to other neighbouring buildings.
It was yet to be established whether the students were in the classrooms at the time of the fire.
Kisumu Central Sub-county Police Commandant Jactone Mango confirmed the incident, stating that they launched investigations and would release a preliminary report as soon as it was ready.
