NFL Wide Receiver Randall Cobb’s Family Escapes House Fire

As an NFL fan, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of the game, but sometimes life reminds us of what’s truly important. For Randall Cobb, a wide receiver in the NFL, that reminder came in the form of a house fire that threatened to destroy his family’s home.

Cobb’s Family ‘Lucky to Be Alive’

On Tuesday night, Cobb’s family escaped a devastating fire at their Nashville, Tennessee home. The fire, which started in the garage, spread quickly, but thanks to the swift action of the Nashville Fire Department, the family was able to get out safely. Cobb’s wife, Aiyda, took to social media to express their gratitude, saying, “We are lucky to be alive.”

The family’s quick thinking and the bravery of the firefighters saved their lives, but the incident left them shaken. Aiyda described the scene, saying, “We got out of the house with nothing but the clothes on our back and no shoes on our feet.” The family is still coming to terms with the extent of the damage, but they’re grateful to have each other.

The Nashville Fire Department responded quickly to the emergency.

A Heroic Effort

The Cobbs were full of praise for the Nashville Fire Department, particularly Chief Caruthers and Captain Irvin, who risked their lives to put out the flames. Aiyda wrote, “I truly thought the cars were going to explode and that we would lose him to this tragedy. He is a true hero.” The family’s gratitude is a reminder of the importance of our first responders, who put their lives on the line every day to keep us safe.
