One person died in Smyrna home explosion on Sunday

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.

Vandy's band of misfits turns heads with 7-1 start

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
