WILLIAMSON COUNTY, Tenn. (WKRN) — Authorities spent hours Monday evening extinguishing a house fire in Williamson County.
Fire crews responded to the 5000 block of Iron Gate Drive in the Laurelbrooke subdivision of the Grassland community around 7:30 p.m.
When firefighters arrived, they saw flames erupting from the home. Multiple agencies were called in to help fight the blaze.
According to a release, the residents had been enjoying a fire in an exterior fireplace on the porch earlier in the evening before they heard cracking and popping coming from the porch after they went inside for a short while.
A resident and infant were able to escape the home to safety. No firefighters were injured while fighting the blaze.
An investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing but investigators believe the fire from the exterior fireplace made its way into the roofline and attic area of the home and quickly spread.
