Breezynews story on June 8, 2026:
A fire early Sunday morning caused damage to an office inside Winters Funeral Home on Fenwick Street in Kosciusko.
Kosciusko Police accompanied a keyholder to the business to check on fire alarm that had been activated and found the building filled with smoke.
The Kosciusko Fire Department responded to the scene around 4:15 a.m. and was able to contain the fire to one office. However, water used to extinguish the blaze covered the floor throughout the building. No injuries were reported.
Kosciusko Fire Chief Duane Burdine said the cause of the fire is still under investigation, but it is believed to have been electrical in nature.
