He was able to awaken his daughter and get them both out of the home without injuries.

Firefighters began an aggressive attack on the blaze, focusing on the garage and attic areas.

In addition, ladders 1, 10, safety rescue 9, along with batallion chiefs 1 and 2 responded.

The home sustained heavy smoke and fire damage.

Murfreesboro Electric Department shut-off power to the home.

The fire marshal is conducting an investigation to determine what started the fire.
