Nairobi airport fire
On 7 August 2013, a fire broke out inside the main terminal building at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya, destroying two of the three units contained in the building. No one was killed, but two people were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Incoming flights were diverted to Uganda, Tanzania, and other airports in Kenya.〔("Inferno roars through E. Africa's largest airport", ''Associated Press'', reported by Jason Straziuso and Tom Odula, published in ''The Pueblo Chieftain'', 7 August 2013 )〕
==The fire==
At approximately 4:30 am local time, a fire originating in the immigration section of Unit I (used for international departures) rapidly spread to adjoining Unit II, which is used for international arrivals. The construction of the building (it was completed in 1978), a roof collapse in Unit I, and heavy traffic in the area hindered initial efforts to extinguish the blaze. Initial media reports showed some firefighters using buckets to fight the fire.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Delayed response to JKIA inferno exposes Kenya’s soft underbelly )〕 Several groups, including the Kenya Army and firefighters from private companies, assisted in fighting the fire. After six hours, on-scene officials indicated that the fire had been contained.〔
After the fire had been extinguished, businesses affected by the fire reported that items were missing from their businesses. Various reports indicated that first responders had looted fire-damaged businesses during and after the fire, leading some to believe that the fire could have been put out sooner had all the firefighters kept their focus on extinguishing the blaze.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=In Nairobi's airport fire, looting and big tourism losses for Kenya )〕 Tourists who were displaced by the fire also reported that they were assaulted by thugs who blocked access to the main gate, where the tourists were attempting to retrieve their belongings.〔
