NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — One woman is dead following a house fire on Albany Drive just outside of Franklin early Friday.
Fire crews responded to the home just after 2 a.m. and found the home more than 50 percent engulfed. The caller who phoned in the fire stated that her 84-year-old mother was still inside the home.
WCSO Deputies were first on scene and found the home completely engulfed in flames and were unable to enter the structure. Firefighters were also unable to enter the structure due to the amount of fire and roof collapse.
Three people were displaced due to the fire and are being assisted by the American Red Cross.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
