By Solomon Muyita PROPERTY worth sh40m was on Monday destroyed by a fire that gutted a girl's dormitory at Standard High School's old site at Zana, on Entebbe Road. Two senior six students, only identified as Farida and Angela, were rushed to nearby clinics for medication after being suffocated by the fumes, as they attempted to save some of their property. The school deputy headmaster, Kassim Basajjabalaba, however, told The New Vision that the two students were known to be asthmatic and normally get attacks if they are extremely excited or depressed. They were recovering by yesterday afternoon and sent home. The dormitory, housing over 60 senior five students, was severely damaged by the fire that started around 9am. Ends
