Fire burns Unilia computer lab

Fire has razed down a computer laboratory and matron’s office at University of Livingstonia’s  Ekwendeni Campus, destroying goods worth millions of kwacha.

Campus registrar Binnie Mwakasungula has told Nation Online that the inferno resulted from a spark at the electricity’s main switch housed in the matron’s office.

The fire brigade was called to duty, but delayed, forcing authorities to borrow fire extinguishers, while others used pails to put off the fire.

Our reporter at the site says classes have since been suspended.
