CULLEOKA, Tenn. (WTVF) — Firefighters in Maury County responded to a large house fire Friday on Baptist Church Road in Culleoka after multiple 911 calls reported flames coming from the home.
According to officials, neighbors and residents in the nearby Glencoe Subdivision called 911 as the fire grew. When crews arrived, the home was already about 60% to 70% involved in flames.
Firefighters were able to quickly knock down the fire at the front of the home before pushing inside with two hand lines to fully extinguish it.
Crews conducted a search of the home, which came back negative. No civilian injuries were reported.
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.”
