The British High Commission in Kenya has responded in a classic UK style by sending some of their own members to provide consular assistance to any UK national who has been affected by the fire at Leopard Beach Hotel in Diani, Kwale County.
Kwale county firefighters struggled to put the blaze out which has been rumored to have been caused by human error. The fire works were set up for a Hindu wedding event.

The flames are burning even English language. As if scaring English tourists isn’t enough. #LeopardBeachInFlames https://t.co/6CXUgMstLY

So Nairobi Sports House went all the way to Diani to burn a hotel? Which fire sport is this? Why couldn’t they let Diani sports house do it. Surely! #LeopardBeachInFlames
