• Fire Breaks Out Near JKIA Grasslands
• Emergency Services Currently Quenching The Fire
A fire has broken out in the grassland near Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), specifically towards 75 Airport North Road. The blaze, which started earlier today, has prompted an immediate response from emergency services, including fire engines and the police.
Eyewitnesses report seeing thick smoke billowing into the sky as firefighters battle to contain the flames. The cause of the fire remains unclear at this time, but authorities are working to prevent its spread, especially given the proximity to key airport infrastructure and nearby businesses.

JKIA, being the busiest airport in East Africa, has strict safety measures, and any fire outbreak in its vicinity raises concerns about potential disruptions. However, as of now, airport operations remain unaffected.
Nairobi has been experiencing dry conditions in recent weeks, increasing the risk of grassland fires. Authorities have urged residents to be cautious, particularly with activities that could spark fires, such as improper disposal of cigarette butts or unattended burning of waste.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of fire preparedness in urban areas, especially near critical infrastructure. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
