An early morning inferno at Dreamcity Nightclub in Kondele, Kisumu has left four people dead and scores injured.
The fire began at 4 am and raged until 8 am, with a team of firefighters struggling to put it out.
Area residents, who were the first to begin the rescue mission, battled to access the club and saved a number of people.
Revellers who were inside the club broke windows to get out of the building but others were unable to find a way out.
The firefighters have so far pulled out four charred bodies from rooms within the club.
