AceShowbiz - Carrie Underwood and her family escaped unharmed after a fire broke out in the garage of their Tennessee home on Sunday night, June 16. The blaze, which started around 9:42 p.m., was quickly contained thanks to a water tank installed on the property.
According to Williamson County Fire and Rescue, an off-road UTV caught fire and spread to the garage. Fire crews were dispatched from all eight county stations due to the home's remote location. They were able to tap into Underwood's 10,000-gallon water tank, eliminating the need to search for an alternative water source.
Despite the fire's intensity, it was confined to the garage and did not cause any structural damage to the main residence. Firefighters remained on scene for several hours to extinguish hot spots in the walls. There were no reported injuries to Underwood, her family members, or their three pets.
Underwood's team confirmed the fire and stated that it was quickly contained, with no damage to the primary residence. The country star has yet to comment on the incident publicly.
The fire investigation is ongoing, with authorities examining whether an ATV parked near the garage may have been the ignition source. The home, which Underwood purchased for $5.5 million in 2008, was recently appraised at over $11 million.
