A quiet La Vergne neighborhood near Centennial Drive turned chaotic Wednesday afternoon when a single-family home at the intersection of Centennial Drive and Wortham Court was reported to be fully engulfed in flames. Thick smoke reportedly pushed neighbors out of their houses as police and La Vergne Fire Rescue crews rushed in and blocked traffic around the scene. The residents escaped the home, and the department's update also referenced the household's dog.
According to the La Vergne Police Department, officers arrived to find the residence already fully involved in fire and immediately asked people to avoid the area so emergency personnel could work safely. The department said traffic near Centennial Drive and Wortham Court was being rerouted while crews attacked the flames.
