Vicksburg and Warren County firefighters racing to Port Gibson to assist with major structure fire

A theater in Port Gibson is on fire, and Vicksburg and Warren County firefighters are on the way to assist.

Port Gibson Fire Chief George Hudson called Vicksburg Chief Craig Danczyk Friday evening around 7 p.m. and put in a mutual aid request.

Early reports say a theater in the city’s downtown, possibly the Trace Theater, is on fire and Hudson believes the entire block could be in danger.

A Vicksburg Fire Department ladder truck and Chief Danczyk are the way, and Warren County firefighters are putting together a team to assist with additional equipment.

This is a developing story. The Vicksburg Daily News will provide additional details as we get them.
