MURFREESBORO, TN (WGNS) - Rutherford County Fire Rescue crews are being credited with saving a life after a weekend fire on Majesty Drive. Around 6:00 Saturday evening, firefighters arrived to find a structure burning and immediately went to work—both knocking down flames and searching for anyone who might still be inside.
That search paid off. Crews located one victim in the home and brought them out to safety while suppression efforts continued. Paramedics with Rutherford County Emergency Medical Services were already staged and ready; they treated the victim on scene before transporting them to the hospital. No additional injuries were reported, and firefighters were able to bring the blaze under control.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the Rutherford County Fire Marshal’s Office, but what’s not in question is the impact of the firefighters’ response.
“This victim’s life was literally saved due to the excellent maneuvers and teamwork of our firefighters,” Fire Rescue Chief Larry Farley said. “This is what training and commitment look like. We are grateful for the swift actions of all responding crews and partner agencies who worked together to ensure a safe outcome.”
For neighbors on Majesty Drive, it was a tense evening that ended with a life saved—thanks to a team that trains for moments just like this.
