SMYRNA, Tenn. (WTVF — One person has died after a house explosion in Smyrna over the weekend.
This was on St. Michael’s Lane. Two people were in the home and one person was transported to a local hospital. The male victim has died, according to a PIO with the town of Smyrna.
Firefighters did a great job keeping the fire from spreading to other homes. There's no official word yet on the cause, but neighbors said it may have had to do with a hot water tank explosion in the garage.
They say an elderly couple lives there. The woman is OK.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
