Fire damages Walnut Street apartment building

Fire damaged an apartment building Sunday night on Walnut Street.

The first firefighters on scene shortly after 10:15 p.m. at 1721 Walnut found light smoke showing and that quickly grew, according to Hopkinsville Fire Department Lt. Payton Rogers, who says crews made entry and found flames in the attic.

All four stations would respond and they quickly worked to get the blaze under control.

No injuries were reported, but at least five people will be displaced.

Lt. Rogers says investigators believe the fire was electrical in nature.
