Spring Hill house catches on fire due to fireworks, authorities say

SPRING HILL, Tenn. (WTVF) — Fireworks disposed of in a trashcan are the reason for a garage and attic fire in Spring Hill.

Crews went to the home in the Cobblestone subdivision around 11 p.m. Sunday after the homeowner noticed the fire and got all of his family out safely.

Spring Hill fire officials said an electrical line against the home also created a challenge for firefighters, but they were helped by Middle Tennessee Electric. Crews confined the fire to the garage and attic areas.

Fire officials cautioned always to ensure fireworks have been completely extinguished before disposal.

Fundraising underway for Tina Turner statue to be placed in Brownsville park

Fundraising efforts are underway in Brownsville and Nutbush, TN to build a statue for a major superstar who was raised there, Anna Mae Bullock. You probably know her by her stage name, Tina Turner. I was a huge fan of Tina and glad to see efforts are underway to showcase more of her ties to West Tennessee.
