Hundreds of animals flee Kenyan wildfire

"The fire is burning from inside the crater (of Mount Logonot, a dormant volcano), and there is nothing we can do but watch and wait until it dies down," he said.
The fire has ravaged larges swathe of the parched and arid park, fanned by strong winds, and its cause has yet to be determined, Muthusi said.
But local resident Charles Mburu speculated that illegal charcoal burners could have started the fire, which he described as "the biggest I have ever seen in the last 10 years."
Park fires occur frequently and are difficult to contain during the dry season, which runs from January through March.
