My understanding of how a fire starts is via a spark. So unless it was an explosion (which no one has reported) then it must have been a small fire before it became a big fire.

A credible source who were about to depart from the airport on an international flight confirmed to me that initially there was smoke and no one seemed worried and they continued to be processed. So the question is why at this stage airport personnel did not contain the fire.

In your own home if there is a fire, the first response would be to try and contain the fire yourself NOT call the fire brigade. So the question of why only one fire truck was sent is because the other 4 were on standby at the runway as per international air travel regulations.

My source did not fly out but reported that security officers were involved in looting and not trying to put out the fire. Further to this the sprinkler system did not release any water.

Hii ilikuja na upepo, pepo mbaya!

Chida ya predictive text.....meant 'ABSTRACT'

Using predictive text would give you a set of known English words, hii yako hata google or urban dictionary haijui, so I dont think it was anything predictive...ni phombe au chida ya matamchi!
