Fire damages Hopkinsville home

Fire damaged a home on South Virginia Street Sunday afternoon.

Firefighters from three Hopkinsville Fire Department stations responded to the home at South Virginia and Mooreland Drive about 3 p.m. and found smoke coming from the structure, according to Lt. Payton Rogers, who says crews made entry and quickly extinguished the blaze.

It’s suspected the fire began in the attic and the only occupant of the home was able to safely evacuate.

The resident will be displaced by the damage to the home.
