Published 5:47 am Monday, July 22, 2024

A vacant home on Division Street caught fire for the second time this year early Sunday morning, Vicksburg Fire Chief Derrick Stamps said.

Stamps said the fire did not result in any injuries and its cause remains under investigation, adding the home, which was a complete loss, was fully involved when firefighters arrived on the scene.

Sunday’s blaze is the second fire incident at the home since April, when it first caught fire after a downed power line ignited grass and other material on site causing significant damage, but also resulting in no injuries.
