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.
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”.
