Hopkinsville Ag. business damaged by fire.

A Hopkinsville agriculture business mainstay sustained significant damage in a fire late last night.

The call went out at 11:03 when a Hopkinsville Police Officer noticed smoke coming from Kentucky American Seed at 205 Means Avenue.

Crews from multiple Hopkinsville Fire Department sub-stations responded and prevented the blaze from completely destroying the building, though damage from the flames, smoke and water inside was significant.

Police say the initial thought was the fire started with an unattended space heater, though the fire department continues to investigate the exact cause. No one was at the facility at the time and no one was injured in the incident.
