Fire caused about $100,000 damage to a home and burglars stole more than $18,000 worth of property from a storage shed Thursday, sheriff’s deputies reported Friday.
A stove fire apparently ignited the kitchen of Ricky Gipson’s home Thursday night on Factory Road off U.S. Highway 70 South (John Bragg Highway), Deputy Mark Gregory reported. Flames spread to the second floor and attic.

Kittrell Volunteer Fire Department firefighters extinguished the blaze.
