Murfreesboro, TN – Firefighters faced treacherous conditions while battling a house fire in Murfreesboro on Wednesday evening, resulting in the loss of several animals but no reported injuries to humans. The Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department (MFRD) responded to the scene after receiving reports of smoke emanating from the front door of a residence on January 8.

Upon arrival, fire crews encountered heavy smoke throughout the home and immediately began fire suppression efforts. Firefighters quickly initiated a search of the residence to ensure no one was trapped inside, according to MFRD officials.
