An afternoon fire damaged one room of the Agape Montessori Christian Academy on Monroe Street on Tuesday. Firefighters received the call at 2:54 p.m. Vicksburg Fire Chief Craig Danczyk and Warren County Fire Coordinator Jerry Briggs were the first on the scene of the fire, which was in a first-floor room on the northeast corner of the building facing Monroe Street. No one was injured and everyone in the building was able to escape. “We did have flames showing,” Danczyk said, adding that Briggs got one exterior fire extinguisher while he got two fire extinguishers in the building and they were able to get the fire controlled “and bought a little time for the firefighters.” “When I entered the building, we had visibility,” Danczyk said. “The fire was growing, but it was manageable and we contained it to one room.”
