The British High Commission acknowledged the incident was "extremely regrettable," and compensation amounts to reportedly £2.9 million. Yet, many claimants feel their losses far exceed what they received, emphasizing the difficult process of proving damages after so much time had passed. The fire destroyed a significant portion of the Lolldaiga conservancy in Kenya's Rift Valley, causing both environmental damage and loss of property for local residents. The British Army continues to conduct training in the area while helping with restoration efforts.

In 2022, the Ministry of Defence identified the fire's origin as a camp stove tipped over during exercises, impacting around 7,000 acres of land. While the British Army Training Unit Kenya (Batuk) injects funds into the local economy, controversies concerning the actions of some soldiers have raised serious concerns, drawing media scrutiny over several years.
