A home in Morganfield was damaged by fire Sunday afternoon.
Morganfield Fire Chief Ricky Millikan tells WMSK News firefighters and emergency personnel responded to the scene of the structure fire at 210 S. Jefferies Street around 11:40. He says the fire was contained to one room of the residence, but the entire home suffered severe heat and smoke damage.
