Country music star Carrie Underwood's home in Williamson County, Tennessee was the scene of a fire on Sunday evening, according to official reports. The blaze, which began around 9:40 p.m. in the Pinewood community near Leiper's Fork, was significant enough to warrant a response from all eight stations of Williamson County Fire Rescue, detailed in their confirmation with WKRN.

Crews arriving at the scene before 10 p.m. found flames emanating from Underwood's garage. A statement obtained by WSMV4 confirmed that firefighters managed to contain the fire before it could spread to the main residential structure. Additionally, the homeowner reported a UTV on fire adjacent to the garage, which was identified as the potential ignition source, as reported by FOX17.

No injuries were reported from the incident, a relief shared by fans and residents alike. Underwood's spokesperson released a statement following the incident, "There was a fire on the property on Sunday night, which was quickly contained. There was no fire damage to the primary residence, and the family and their pets were unharmed."

First responders, including the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, Williamson Health Medic, and the Williamson Health EMS Supervisor played crucial roles in the response. The Middle Tennessee Electric and other county entities likewise responded to the call. The community effort underscored, once again, the importance of coordination in emergency situations, as noted by local officials. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by Williamson County Fire and Rescue.
