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.
The home, a custom-built estate located 30 minutes away from Nashville's city center, is a safe haven for Underwood, her husband, and their two boys, Isaiah and Jacob.
The singer and her husband moved there months after her freak fall at their home in Brentwood, Tennessee. Still, according to an insider, security issues also contributed to their decision.
They built the massive dream house from scratch after purchasing it in 2019. The singer told Country Living, "My husband and I are designing our 'forever' home. My must-haves are a wood-burning fireplace, a porch swing, and rocking chairs."
They built their dream home to accommodate their family of four, creating convenient areas for their two boys to play and grow up in. They plan to live in their home forever.
The home features many rooms, a basement, living rooms with vaulted ceilings and massive windows, multiple fireplaces, bedrooms, and bathrooms.
The kitchen features a long bench alongside a black table to create a breakfast nook with a gorgeous view of the sprawling land outside. Their massive grounds allow the couple to keep horses and other farm animals.
Life at her farm home has been fulfilling for the singer and her family. She says she no longer buys produce for her family since she has taken on the art of growing her vegetables and groceries.
Despite her star status on stage, Underwood's life at home is an entirely different affair. During a sit-down with People in 2020, she expressed that they were really just normal people and she was very thankful for that.
She added that if she were the same person at home as she is on stage, she doubts that version of herself would have many friends, “I enjoy getting to play that role, but you can’t be that big of a personality all the time. Well, I guess you can, but it’s gotta be exhausting.”
