A fire in a school dormitory in Kenya killed 17 students and seriously burned 13 others, police said Friday. There are fears that the death toll may rise, police said. The cause of the fire Thursday night at Hillside Endarasha Primary in Nyeri county was being investigated, police spokesperson Resila Onyango said. "We are investigating the cause and will take necessary action," she said.

警方周五表示，肯尼亚一所学校宿舍发生火灾，造成 17 名学生死亡，13 人严重烧伤。警方表示，人们担心死亡人数可能会上升。警方发言人 Resila Onyango 表示，周四晚上尼耶里县 Hillside Endarasha 小学发生火灾的原因正在调查中。“我们正在调查原因，并将采取必要行动，”她说。

President William Ruto called the news "devastating" and said action would be taken against those responsible. "I instruct relevant authorities to thoroughly investigate this horrific incident. Those responsible will be held to account," he wrote on the social media platform X.

总统威廉·鲁托称这一消息“令人震惊”，并表示将对责任人采取行动。“我指示有关部门彻底调查这一可怕事件。责任人将被追究责任，”他在社交媒体平台 X 上写道。

His deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, urged school administrators to ensure that safety guidelines recommended by the education ministry for boarding schools are being followed. School fires are common in Kenyan boarding schools, where many students stay because parents believe it gives them more time to study without long commutes.

他的副手 Rigathi Gachagua 敦促学校管理人员确保遵守教育部为寄宿学校推荐的安全指南。学校火灾在肯尼亚寄宿学校很常见，许多学生留在寄宿学校，因为家长认为这样可以让他们有更多时间学习，而不必长途通勤。
