MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WSMV) - A woman was saved from a burning home in Murfreesboro on Friday evening, according to the Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department (MFRD).

On Friday, at about 8:30 p.m., crews with the MFRD were called to a home on Amberwood Circle.

When they arrived, they found that a woman, in her mid-30s, was trapped inside. The MFRD said the husband, mother-in-law, daughter and family dog were all able to escape before firefighters arrived. Firefighters rescued the woman.

Officials “aggressively attacked” and “quickly” extinguished the fire, according to the MFRD. Crews also searched to make sure no one else was in danger.

The woman, who was rescued, was checked out on the scene. She was taken to a local hospital by the Murfreesboro Police Department.

The MFRD said the Heart of Tennessee Chapter of the American Red Cross is helping the family.
