A fire killed 17 boys when it tore through the dormitory in which they were sleeping at a boarding school in central Kenya in the early hours of Friday, police said.”We saw several children in there that had been burnt,” Phillip Gathogo, a local resident, told reporters.”I was just lucky to save one of them, but I heard that he later died. It was a very troubling and sad tragedy.”The blaze occurred at the Hillside Endarasha Academy in Nyeri, a primary boarding school for young students about 150 km (93 miles) from the capital Nairobi.
