Family Escapes House Fire

A Tullahoma family got out of their house with only their pajamas on early Sunday morning.
The home of Casey and Michelle Crawford and their two children was destroyed by fire. The Tullahoma Fire Department received a call of the fire on Crossfield Drive around 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning. When the fire department arrived the flames were coming out of the roof of the house, according to Fire Chief Richard Shasteen.
“The family was awakened by the breaking of a window,” Shasteen said. “They barely got out.” According to Shasteen, firefighters were hampered by the wind fanning the flames.
According to the fire chief, the fire appeared to have started on the back patio where a heat lamp was being used for a dog. The dog was saved.
A Gofundme account has been created to help the family with expenses.
