Fire detectors may be there, but I think the big issue is preparedness of staff and emergency services. I personally know the nairobi fire chief and know for a fact that between nairobi fire dept. And JKIA, they should have more than 6 fire trucks and that there should be extinguishers in the terminals but the unrehearsed reaction was what caused the tragedy

That and the fact that Nairobi motorists don't give way to emergency vehicles. Its actually a petty pathetic habit and that may causing too many unnecessary cases ending badly. Muriithi
