Firemen want access roads in slums upgraded for easier access in case of fire outbreak. County director of the fire department Brian Kisali told the Star yesterday that access roads were too narrow for fire engines. “It was very painful to see the fire spread because the fire engines could not access the place because of poor access roads,” Njagua told the Star. The funds will go towards the Nairobi Risk Hub, a five-year project by the Disaster Management department scheduled to start this month. Lack of proper access roads remains to be a major issue in most fire disasters in Nairobi.
