A devastating fire swept through Lutoboka landing site in Kalangala's Island District on October 1, leaving at least 50 families without shelter and destroying many business premises.
The fire began at 2:30pm, according to Ms Christine Acheng, a resident who lost her property in the blaze.
"When electricity came back, my neighbour heard a spark at the back of her house.
On checking, she found out that the fire had already spread to the other wooden buildings. I alerted the other residents about the fire," she narrated.
The rapid spread of the fire was exacerbated by the predominantly wooden construction of the buildings.
