Fire has swept through Lupososhi Secondary School Storeroom, in Luwingu, Northern province destroying 117 mattresses, worth 70,000 Kwacha.
The incident happened on Wednesday around 10 hours.
School Head-Teacher, Michael Chinika has confirmed the incident to ZANIS in Luwingu district.
Mr Chinika explained that there were at least 250 mattresses in the storeroom at the time of the fire.
He added that following the fire, the storeroom is completely damaged.
And Luwingu District Education Secretary, Isaac Simutowe has explained that the fire department was called but they went to a wrong school, and school authorities managed to put out the fire, but only after two hours.
What a waste of fire equipment… Put the fire guys on WhatsApp (with 30Ngwee float) so they can see dropped locations.
Was one of those wheelbarrows put into action? and without proper navigation system?
Hmmmm, scratching my head. property lost.
Is UPND there too?
Sharon you’re really a terrible person, with your childish comments, and a sick obsession with UPND. Is UPND running Zambia today? Can’t you be serious even for a second? What a foooool.
The party of Harsonists!
These fires again!!!
I wonder if the school is on prime land.
Really laughable….Dont these 1 million dollar firetrucks have GPS navigation in them!!
Laughing Gas. I wish they found HH at the wrong school and watered him down. He may be the cause of these fires! See how his supporters have red eyes daily!
Instead of wasting US $1000,000 on a firetruck that proved to be useless when it actually mattered, you were better of improving fire safety and fire prevention systems such as automated sprinklers in 100 such schools.
Comedy
Lazy, Jay j, you know thar you would have criticised the GPS if it was fitted. Is there anything under Zambia’s sun that you don’t criticise, if it’s not your god’s tri.be?
Gay Jay is Ba Mental. He even criticsied when his polygamist father got a third wife.
And they would have us believe this country is on a path to development and prosperity when firemen can’t even make it to the right location to put out a fire… Ladies and gentlemen we are well and truly f**cked as a country!!!
It seems these fires are done by the government to justify the buying of the fire trucks. I mean how come all of a sudden there are fires so often???
The curse of those fire engines is real, wish we can return them so we can get back to the way it was before they came into our lives. I don’t blame the firefighters it’s hard going to qwench fires knowing one million was squandered on a useless fire engine
