We break down what we know in the player above.
Gallatin Fire Chief Jeff Beaman said the call came in just before 7:30 a.m. for a home that had exploded in the Airport Road area. Upon arrival, fire officials found the home with a fire in the middle.
According to Sumner County EMS, that individual seemed to be outside of the structure when it exploded and they were able to get to her quickly.
At this time, they are still doing damage assessments. There's no danger or hazards to the community as they've shut down gas lines in the area for safety precautions.
Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
