This morning, a big fire started at a bus parking place in Kasese near a bank. The fire produced a lot of smoke that went up into the sky, and many people felt scared when they saw it.
People who saw the fire said it moved very fast. It burned many things around it before help came. People who lived nearby joined with soldiers and police to fight the fire.
Kasese does not have fire trucks or firefighters. This made fighting the fire much harder. Many things burned because help came late.
Mr. Tumushime from the police said they wanted to learn why the fire started. He said the soldiers, people, and police tried hard to stop the fire. "We are looking for what made the fire start. The soldiers, local people, and our officers did their best," Mr. Tumushime said.
People who live in Kasese feel upset because there is no fire station. Mr. Kigutiha lost things in the fire. He said, "We lost many things today because nobody came fast to help. If we had firefighters here, we could have saved more stuff."
Leaders in the area want the government to build a fire station in Kasese. Mr. Martin, who leads the Central Division, said, "This fire shows what we need. We want the government to make a fire station in Kasese to keep people and their things safe."
The people who had businesses or homes near the fire must count all the things they lost. The police ask everyone to watch for fire dangers and tell them if they see any.
