Flights resumed on Thursday at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Kenya after it was temporarily closed by officials on Wednesday following an early morning fire that gutted part of the arrivals section at the Airport.
Fire fighters battled the fire for over five hours, a period that has raised several questions with many Kenyans wondering if the fire fighting department is well or ill equipped to handle fires.

Mr Kisali (right), the city’s acting top fire officer, said they were not overwhelmed but were forced to change tactics after they realized the intensity and ferocity of the blaze.
“The challenge was that the whole place was ablaze forcing us to change our tactics. We had to reposition ourselves so that we could deal perfectly with the raging fire,” the Japan-trained officer said.
Mean while Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) has joined the Investigations to ascertain the true cause of the fire.
Their involvement is to confirm or eliminate the theory that terrorism could have been responsible for the inferno, affecting several flight schedules to the Middle East, Europe and Asia and within Africa.
Another line being pursued by investigators is whether internal sabotage could have been the cause of the fire.
