Firefighters quickly began working to extinguish the fire and search the residence. Crews also conducted ventilation operations on the roof to help release heat and smoke.All occupants and the family's dog had safely evacuated before our crews arrived. However, the family's pet cat was still inside the residence. During the search, firefighters located the cat and used a clear plastic tote to safely carry him out of the home. The cat was reunited with his owners and transferred into a proper pet carrier. Williamson County EMS evaluated both the resident who was home at the time of the fire and the family cat for possible smoke exposure. No injuries were reported.The fire caused extensive damage to the garage, including the homeowner's vehicle. Significant smoke and water damage also affected the residence.Firefighters remained on scene for several hours conducting overhaul operations to ensure the fire was fully extinguished.
