Residents of Magnolia Manor on Manor Drive were evacuated Wednesday after a kitchen fire smoked up a second-floor apartment.

No injuries were reported in the blaze reported at 1 p.m.

Vicksburg Fire Department Battalion Chief Craig Danczyk said the fire started in an apartment where a pot had been left on the stove.

He said the wall around the stove was damaged.

Three fire trucks and an ambulance stayed on scene for about an hour while large fans blew smoke from the four-story building where most of the tenants are elderly.

“We are spending more time on this because of the nature of the facility,” Danczyk said.
