Firefighters Battle the Blaze
Firefighters worked tirelessly through the night to control the fire, the cause of which remains unknown. An investigation is ongoing to determine what ignited the flames.
Evening of Distress
Carrie Underwood’s Tennessee home, where she lives with her husband and sons, was engulfed by fire around 9:45 p.m. The Williamson County Fire Rescue was called to the scene in the Pinewood community, west of Leiper’s Fork, to combat the fire that started in the garage.
Challenging Conditions
Due to the home’s remote location, all eight stations of the County Fire Rescue were dispatched. Firefighters had to navigate a long road and driveway to reach the property. The crew managed to extinguish the flames quickly, aided by the home’s 10,000-gallon water tank.
Persistent Hot Spots
The fire had spread into the walls, causing persistent flare-ups. Firefighters remained on-site for several hours to manage these hot spots and prevent further spread.
No Injuries or Major Damage
Fortunately, there were no injuries. Underwood’s family, who were home at the time, escaped unharmed, and the main house did not sustain any damage.
Official Statements
Early Monday morning, the Williamson County Fire Rescue posted a statement on Facebook detailing the incident and ongoing investigation. There are speculations that the fire may have been caused by a UTV parked next to the garage.
Carrie Underwood’s spokesman also released a statement confirming the fire. He reassured the public that the fire was quickly contained, the primary residence was not damaged, and the family and their pets were safe.
