The Tennessee home of country music star Trace Adkins was destroyed by a fire this afternoon, but everyone in the home got out safe.
A babysitter was home with the children at the time of the fire. Adkins’ wife Rhonda told WSMV the family had a fire plan in place.
Rhonda was not home at the time and Trace is traveling to Alaska.
Brian Goss, the Asst. Fire Chief for the Brentwood Fire & Rescue Dept., tells TMZ the fire started in the garage and spread up the walls and to the attic — but the cause was not yet known.
There was one injury that was somewhat related to the fire. A neighbor rushed over to help save the family dog — and the dog bit him. The neighbor was taken to the hospital and is expected to recover just fine.
