Vardaman community pitches in after large fire hits downtown
Www.wcbi.com – Anthony Jenkins – 2024-07-18 18:55:18. SUMMARY: A significant fire in Vardaman, Mississippi, devastated three downtown buildings. The fire, which started early in the morning, required the combined effort of 11 departments to contain. Without the aid of a ladder truck, more buildings could have been lost. The fire caused a notable gap in the downtown landscape and impacted a significant portion of the town's businesses. Vardaman's community rallied by providing food and support to the firefighters. The town now shifts its focus to helping affected businesses recover, including a GoFundMe initiative for one of the destroyed grocery stores.
