Seven people were injured in two separate fires in South B and South C, Nairobi on Wednesday afternoon.
A total of six casualties were evacuated from Canaro in Fuata Nyayo, a slum near South B to the Kenyatta National Hospital by the Kenya Red Cross. Another person was evacuated following a fire at a house in Phase 4, Mugoya Estate in South C.
The government's Disaster Operations Centre said both fires have been contained by a team comprising the Red Cross, Nairobi County and National Youth Service. A needs assessment for affected persons and post-incident evaluation is ongoing.
The incident comes hours after 14 people were treated for minor injuries following fires at Mukuru Kwa Reuben and Mukuru Kayaba slums in South B.
Six people were injured in the Mukuru kwa Reuben fire that occurred on Wednesday morning.
Kenya Power said the fire was caused by "enhanced human activities and settlements".
Eight people were evacuated from the fire at Mukuru Kayaba on Tuesday night.
It left 200 families displaced and property of unknown value destroyed.
