NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — One firefighter was injured while crews battled a house fire Thursday on Sunnywood Drive.
According to the Nashville Fire Department, crews were dispatched to the home in the 6800 block of Sunnywood Drive after multiple 911 callers reported a vehicle on fire inside or near a garage. Callers said they could see smoke and flames and heard several loud popping sounds.
Additional callers later reported the fire appeared to be spreading and that the home had become involved.
When firefighters arrived, crews reported flames coming from the second floor of the garage and began fire attack operations to put out the fire.
Initial reports indicate no one was inside the home at the time of the fire.
One firefighter was transported from the scene with injuries that were unknown at the time. No other injuries have been reported.
The Red Cross was called to assist two people.
The scene remains active as crews continue working.
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”.
