Mukono. Fire has gutted Kiziru landing site in Mpunge Sub-county Mukono district destroying over 100 temporary structures, animals and property worth millions of Shillings.

The fire broke out around 2am in the wee hours of Tuesday morning.

Rogers Kamya, the Chairperson Kiziru landing site, says three people sustained minor injuries while trying to stop the fire.

He says the fire destroyed over ten boat engines, 20 goats, shops, church and mosque.  He says several people are now homeless and need temporary shelter.
