By News Mar 7, 2021 | 5:16 PM

The Kell Fire Department was called to a yard fire on the David Henson property at 7302 State Route 161 Extension in Iuka during the noon hour on Sunday.

Upon arrival, firemen found a portable 12 by 20-foot portable storage shed on fire.    The fire was quickly extinguished before it caused damage to items inside the structure.   There was minor damage to the underneath and one side of the structure.

Henson had put the fire out around the propane tank before firemen arrived on the scene.

The grass fire is believed to have originated from a burn barrel when items fell out and caught the yard on fire.

Damage to the storage shed is estimated at $500.

Firemen received the call at 12:30 Saturday afternoon and were on the scene for about an hour.
