Brave George Ng'ang'a

                                                                               George Ng'ang'a

 A 15-year-old Form Two student jumped out of bed and joined his colleagues and neighbours, who had begun putting out fire, which was spreading fast in one of the dormitories at Stephjoy Boys’ Christian Boarding School in Limuru, Kiambu County.

George who was described as brave pulled out his classmate, Zachary Njoroge, from the burning dormitory on August 2, 2015 at about 11pm on Sunday. 

Two dormitories at the school were on fire and the institution was clouded with black smoke. The door to one of the burning dormitories was still closed and students who were inside were struggling to force their way out, screaming.  Zachary was rushed to the hospital. Doctors said he had suffered 95 per cent burns and was in critical condition.

Seven students, including George, were admitted to the Tigoni hospital for chest pains, breathing difficulties and sight problems. They were treated and discharged. However, Ian Kamau, 16, and Edwin Mugo 15, who were George’s classmates, did not make it.
