Sunday, June 16 turned alarming for singer Carrie Underwood when a sudden fire broke out at her remote home.
As firefighters battled the relentless blaze late into the night, the cause of the fire remained a mystery, prompting an ongoing investigation into what sparked the flames.
The evening ended on a somber note for singer Carrie Underwood, whose Tennessee home, where she resides with her husband and sons, caught fire in the late evening. The fire is said to have started at around 9:45p.m.
Crew members of the Williamson County Fire Rescue were dispatched to Underwood’s home in the Pinewood community, west of Leiper’s Fork, to extinguish the fire that had engulfed the property’s garage.
Due to Underwood’s home being in a remote area, the County Fire Rescue had to dispatch all eight stations to the home. According to officials, the crew had to travel up a long road and then a lengthy driveway to access the property.
The crew members quickly put out the fire, thanks to the 10,000-gallon water tank in the home.
Unfortunately, the fire had spread into the walls and kept flaring up in hot spots, requiring the firefighters to stay on location for several more hours to manage the flare-ups and prevent further spread.
Luckily, there were no injuries, and Underwood’s family, who were at home during the incident, remained unscathed. There was also no damage to the main house.
Early Monday morning, the Williamson County Fire Rescue released a statement on its Facebook page, detailing the events of the night before. In part, it said that investigations were underway to determine what could have caused the fire. Still, there are speculations that the fire might have been sparked by a UTV that was parked next to the garage.
Following the incident, Carrie Underwood’s spokesman also released a statement indicating that there had been a fire on the property Sunday night, which was quickly contained. They added that the primary residence did not sustain any fire damage, and the family and their pets were unharmed.
At 65, Madonna praised as the “most beautiful” woman in the world after sharing sultry photos
It’s difficult to believe that Madonna is now 65 years old. It feels like only yesterday that the Queen of Pop burst onto the scene, and ever since she’s been entertaining millions of people the world over every year.
At present, Madonna is on her much-anticipated Celebration Tour, having recovered from the nasty bacterial infection that left her hospitalized earlier this year.
Recent snaps of the Like a Virgin singer were met with widespread praise among her legion of fans, as the 65-year-old continues to prove that age is just a number… and that she’s far from done with regards to being a prominent force in the music industry.
Fans were right to be concerned earlier this year in summer, when Madonna was suddenly hospitalized.
Initial reports were worrying enough, but it soon became apparent that her health scare was even more grave than first thought.
The Queen of Pop had been set to embark on her highly anticipated Celebration Tour in Vancouver on July 15 – which would have seen her perform her best hits from 1983 to now in 53 shows across North America and Europe – but was forced to postpone it after she was rushed to hospital with a bacterial infection.
Initial reports revealed Madonna had been found unresponsive on Saturday, June 24, and was subsequently to a New York City hospital where she was intubated.
Not long after, a relative of the Grammy winning artist told Entertainment Tonight that her family had been “preparing for the worst” after the news first broke. “For the past couple of days, no one really knew which direction this was going to turn, and her family was preparing for the worst,” they said.
“That is why it was kept a secret since Saturday,” they added. “Everyone believed that we may lose her, and that has been the reality of the situation.”
Radar Online, meanwhile, revealed that Madonna’s stint in hospital was more severe than initially thought – medics who treated the unresponsive star at her apartment were reportedly forced to administer a NARCAN injection.
Fortunately, the singer was eventually released from hospital and could continue her recovery at home. Her aforementioned Celebration Tour is now in full swing, with the Vogue star gaining widespread praise for her looks after uploading a series of photos from her tour.
According to reports, the Paris, France leg of Madonna’s tour attracted particular attention, with fans showering her with compliments. One even dubbed her “the most beautiful woman in the world.”
One person wrote on Twitter: “How is this woman sixty five years old? Please share your secrets with us and your filter. QUEEN ??“
Another wrote: “You look like a woman of 35 years old”
A third added: “THE most famous woman ever in front of a lens. Still the most exotic, most beguiling thing I’ve ever seen ❤️?“
Famous fashion designer Donatella Versace, meanwhile, praised her long time friend as being “the most beautiful”.
