Meru
A fire broke out on the night of January 6 at the staff quarters inside Meru Prison, leaving at least 14 families homeless. Local residents tried to extinguish the blaze using buckets and basins of water, but no firefighters arrived because the county's only fire engine was grounded due to lack of fuel. No casualties were reported, and authorities are investigating the cause, suspecting an electrical fault.
