Fire at Carrie Underwood’s Tennessee Home Limited by Her 10,000-Gallon Water Tank

A fire at country music star Carrie Underwood’s Nashville-area home was limited to the garage, thanks in part to a 10,000-gallon water tank on the property.

USA Today and local news outlets reported that an all-terrain vehicle sparked a fire inside the garage of the $5 million home, about eight miles outside the city, Sunday night. When fire crews arrived they were able to tap into the water tank and they eventually extinguished the blaze.

None of the four people and three pets were injured.

The news sites did not explain why the large tank was installed at the house, or if fire hydrants were available in the remote area. The name of Underwood’s homeowners insurance carrier, or if she is self-insured, was not reported.
