Country music star Carrie Underwood faced a significant scare Sunday night when a fire erupted on her Tennessee property. According to her spokesperson, the fire was quickly contained and there was no damage to the primary residence. Fortunately, Carrie, her family, and their pets were unharmed.
Quick Response by Firefighters
Williamson County Fire Rescue dispatched all eight of its stations to battle the blaze due to the home’s remote location in the affluent Pinewood community. Firefighters had to navigate a long road and driveway before reaching the fully-involved garage fire.
No Damage to Main House
The fire started when an off-road UTV caught fire and spread to the garage at around 9:40 p.m. The quick response was crucial; crews managed to knock down the flames using a 10,000-gallon water tank already on the premises. Officials confirmed they are continuing to put out hotspots to prevent further spread.
Initial Investigation
Investigators are working to determine if the fire was sparked by the UTV parked next to the garage. The cause remains under investigation.

In a statement shared on Monday (June 17), Underwood’s team thanked Williamson County fire crews who quickly contained the blaze. Their official message emphasized: 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.
