Property worth millions of shillings have been lost in a fire incident that gutted a building in Kikonzo Cell, Railway Ward in Kasese Municipality.
The incident that happened today afternoon totally destroyed a building belonging to Mr. Samuel Isebahasa and Guada Muhindo Nyabahasa.
According to Muhindo, the fire is suspected to have originated from a mobile phone battery that her son mistakenly left while charging using solar power.
Muhindo who is a teacher by profession revealed that when she was at school, she received a phone call indicating that her house was on fire.
Ms. Beatrice Biira, an eye witness told Messiah Radio that after noticing the incident, she called other neighbours to try to rescue the situation which according to her had gone out of hand.
They called the Police Fire Brigade which swiftly responded to the scene to stop the fire from escalating.
Hon. John Kisembo Siriwayo, the Municipal Councillor representing the Railway Ward who also doubles as the Secretary for Works and Technical Services and her counterpart, Hon. Cecilia Biira cautioned the residents against the act of using unprofessional electricians to wire and connect their houses
