According to students who spoke to our reporter, the two burnt dormitories are; Lumumba and Kaguta.

Students at the school immediately responded to the situation but in vain until the fire rescue team from Kabale central police reached the scene and put off the fire.

Speaking to our reporter shortly, the school head teacher Bernad Bikorwomuhangi said that the situation was put under control and fire did not spread to other dormitories.
