No one was injured when a house was heavily damaged Thursday morning during a Thanksgiving day fire that was determined to have originated in the home’s kitchen.

Vicksburg Fire Department responded to the scene at 601 Longview St., where the blaze heavily damaged a private residence.

Vicksburg Fire Chief Derrick Stamps said no one was injured and firefighters acted quickly to squelch the flames.

“On Thanksgiving morning, around 10:42 a.m., the Vicksburg Fire Department answered the call to a stove fire,” Stamps said. “Upon arrival, crews encountered the middle portion of the house engulfed in flames, with fire venting through the roof. Undeterred, the firefighters launched an interior attack to extinguish the blaze. Their courageous efforts not only prevented further damage to the structure but also allowed the family to recover valuable items from their home, showcasing the power of resilience and community spirit.”
