A Mt. Vernon man refused hospital treatment for minor smoke inhalation received during a fire at his home Sunday night. Mt. Vernon City Firemen say John Moore of 520 South 19th was cooking on the stove in his kitchen when the fire began.

Firemen estimate damage at $15,000 to $20,000. Moore was the only one in the home when firefighters arrived around 5:30 Sunday night.
