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.
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.”
