A fire destroyed an Antioch home early Wednesday, displacing 15 people, including eight children, after a resident spotted the flames and woke the others so they could escape, fire officials said.
The Nashville Fire Department was called to a home on Barclary Square Drive just after 5 a.m. and found flames coming from the house. Firefighters stopped the blaze from spreading to neighboring homes, but the residence was left heavily damaged and is considered a total loss.
The fire is believed to have started at the back of the house and spread to the kitchen, based on the pattern of damage, according to the department. Its cause remains under investigation.
The 15 people inside included seven adults and eight children. No injuries were reported.
