Crews Respond to Fire at Carrie Underwood’s Tennessee Home
Fans of Carrie Underwood flooded the country music star’s social media after news broke of a fire at her home near Nashville, Tennessee. Now, the “Cowboy Casanova” singer is reassuring fans that she and her family are completely safe following the Sunday, June 16 incident.
In a statement shared on Monday, June 17, Carrie Underwood’s team confirmed that Williamson County fire crews “quickly contained” the blaze. “There was no fire damage to the primary residence, and the family and their pets were unharmed,” the statement read. Underwood’s team verified many previously reported details. An off-road UTV caught fire and spread to the singer’s garage just after 9:40 p.m. Sunday. Williamson County dispatched all eight of its fire stations to the property in the affluent Pinewood community west of Leiper’s Fork. Fortunately, Underwood and husband Mike Fisher had the foresight to install a 10,000-gallon water tank at the home. Firefighters used that tank to extinguish the flames. Dinah Wade, a spokesperson with Williamson County Fire and Rescue, confirmed to The Tennessean that Underwood, Fisher, and their two sons were all home at the time. Luckily, they all escaped unscathed, along with three pets. “One of the pets would not leave the homeowner’s side,” Wade said. Afterwards, crews remained on the scene for several hours to battle hot spots.
