We break down what we know in the player above.
Gallatin Fire Chief Jeff Beaman said the call came in just before 7:30 a.m. for a home that had exploded in the Airport Road area. Upon arrival, fire officials found the home with a fire in the middle.
According to Sumner County EMS, that individual seemed to be outside of the structure when it exploded and they were able to get to her quickly.
At this time, they are still doing damage assessments. There's no danger or hazards to the community as they've shut down gas lines in the area for safety precautions.
This is a beautiful story of chosen family, proving a father figure doesn't have to have biology in common to make a difference in a child's life. The story of De'Andre and Alex will remind you that our relationships help determine the course of our lives. And that being supportive of someone - through a meal, a shared experience or even swim lessons can make all the difference.
