Officials say an apparent cooking fire damaged three Collegiate Heights apartments Saturday morning, but no injuries were reported during the incident.
The Starkville Fire Department was dispatched to the 205 Lynn Lane location about 1:30 a.m., Chief Rodger Mann said.
The fire started on a second-floor apartment, he said, and vented through the building’s roof. Two units received either fire, smoke or water damage during the blaze, but the building itself was not severely damaged.
SFD was on-scene for roughly 90 minutes, Mann said.
