By MARY WAMBUIMore by this AuthorA macadamia factory located near Munene Industries in Thika Town is counting losses amounting to millions of shillings following a fire that broke out in one of its stores Tuesday evening. An eye witness told journalists that he received a call informing him that the factory was on fire and immediately called a county government official who then summoned the fire brigade. "Luckily, no one was in the store at that time," said Mr Ngahu, the witness. He added that they suspected that the fire resulted from the sun's heat coming into contact with the cartons used to store the nuts and the oil extracted from them. Fire fighters managed to stop the fire from spreading further as they arrived at the scene seven minutes after they were alerted.
