A house fire late Saturday night claimed the life of a 71-year-old homeowner in Dickson County.
Deputies with the Dickson County Sheriff’s Office were called to a home on Grindstone Hollow around 10 p.m. on December 20, 2025, after reports of a structure fire. When deputies arrived, the home was fully engulfed in flames.
Two residents who were outside the home told investigators that the homeowner, Andrew Kuhn, was still inside. They said they returned home to find the house on fire and were able to enter briefly to locate Kuhn, who was unconscious. Because of the fire and Kuhn’s mobility issues, they were unable to get him out.
Multiple local fire and rescue crews responded and were able to remove Kuhn from the home, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The house was declared a total loss.
Dickson County Detective Chris Stockman is leading the investigation, with assistance from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s Fire Investigations Unit. Officials said the case remains under investigation. No foul play is suspected at this time.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
