Fire Consumes St. Laurent Boys' Dormitory at Hanga

With great sadness, monks, villagers, teachers and students of St. Laurent Primary school, late morning of Monday November 4th witness helplessly as fire raged in the dormitory for boys of St. Laurent school. So far the cause of the fire is believed to a fault in electrical system. No arson is involved. Luckily there was no human injury or death by the fire. Lack of water and fire trucks in the rural area made it impossible to put off the fire at its early stage. People tried to extinguish the fire with water in buckets, but it was nothing to the raging fire. By the time a fire truck from Songea town arrived at the scene the facility was completely burned.

People watched helplessly as the building continued to be burnt.
