Devolution Cabinet Secretary Eugene Wamalwa is today breathing a sigh of relief after he was today succesfully evacuated with other guests from a burning Leopard Resort in Diani to the neighbouring Almanara Resort.
This was after Five blocks each with 20 rooms were razed down last night at the Resort.
Katana Karisa, a caretaker at the resort, said he was cleaning the swimming pool when the fire started in one building before it quickly spread as it was windy.
“I think there was a wedding in the neighbourhood. I suspect fireworks started the fire,” he said.
Kwale County Commissioner Karuku Ngumo said police have launched investigations to establish the cause of the fire.
