Clouds of black smoke could also be seen billowing from make-shift stalls that were used to store bales of apparel overnight. The open-air market, famous for used clothes, fresh produce, artefacts and toys, is located on the outskirts of Kibera slum, one of the biggest informal settlements in Africa. The 2014 fire destroyed a large section of the market, rendering hundreds of traders jobless. Investigations by the police established that the fire started in one of the stalls before spreading to others.
