A grease fire badly damaged a kitchen in an apartment building on Eastover Drive around 11:30 Friday morning, Vicksburg Fire Department investigator Leslie Decareaux said.

Two sisters, Christina, 23, and Kristy Miller, 21, 125 Eastover Drive, Apt. M2, were home with Christina’s 1-year-old son, Jamari, when an unattended cooking pot caught fire. The two women and a neighbor, Patrick Harris, attempted to douse the blaze with fire extinguishers but it was already out of hand.

The Vicksburg Fire Department arrived minutes later, extinguished the blaze and stayed for about 45-minutes.
