Pro Bowl wide receiver Randall Cobb posted images of his home online showing the aftermath of a fire caused by a Tesla charger in his garage that caught on fire.
The blaze happened at the 33-year-old’s Nashville, Tennessee, home where he lives with his wife and three children. Wife, Aiyda Cobb, was the first to make comments about the incident online: “We are lucky to be alive. The telsa charger caught on fire in the garage late last night and quickly spread,” she reportedly said in an Instagram story.
“We got out of the house with nothing but the clothes on our back and no shoes on our feet,” a screenshot of her post showed.
Cobb himself posted a message the next day thanking firefighters and the community for their actions.
“Thank you for all the love and positive messages,” Cobb said in a joint Instagram post with his wife. “First and foremost, we are all safe and healthy. We got out of the house and I was able to get back in and get our dog, Louie. We can’t thank Chief Caruthers, Captain Irvin and the Nashville Fire Department enough for their swift action.”
Cobb seemed particularly affected by the thought of the firefighters risking their lives to save his possessions.
