Most of the affected homes were constructed from iron sheets. The cause of the fire is yet to be determined.
Eyewitnesses reported that the fire started around 9:30 a.m. and was initially small. One resident noted that a faster response from neighbors or emergency services could have limited the damage.
By the time firefighters arrived, the blaze had already destroyed multiple houses. Residents were seen salvaging unburnt belongings and stacking damaged iron sheets, hoping to rebuild their homes once the situation stabilizes.
Police have not issued an official statement, and as of the time of reporting, no casualties had been reported.
This fire comes less than a week after a major blaze in the Mlango Kubwa area of Mathare, which destroyed several houses, reportedly due to a suspected gas-related incident.
