“Upon arrival, 1401 found flames coming from the garage. Crews were able to knock down the fire quickly to prevent spread into the house,” the caption stated.
Captain Dinah Wade told Fox News Digital that the fire started in a UTV that was parked near Underwood’s garage. The fire then spread to the garage, which Wade noted that the firefighters were able to contain it to the garage without it spreading to the main residence.

“Crews worked for several hours to extinguish the fire extension into the roofline,” Wade said. “Crews from Franklin Fire provided a ladder truck and engine crew to assist with the operation. Fairview Fire also provided a tanker and crew for support.”
Captain Wade shared that Underwood installed a 10,000 gallon water reservoir on the property due to the rural area. “This helped firefighters have a ready supply to extinguish the fire,” Wade shared.

According to a social media user, Underwood had just finished her rendition of “Welcome To The Jungle” by Guns N’ Roses when the downpour started.
But the show continued on for loyal fans that didn’t flee from the rain, as Underwood still had one more song to perform.
She proceeded to give a performance of her smash single “Before He Cheats,” as the rain enveloped her and the stage.
Underwood shared video of the monumental moment on her social media, writing, “We won’t let a little rain stop us! We won’t let a massive downpour stop us, either!”

Fans commended the musician for continuing to perform in the rain, writing in her comment section that she was “a real performer” and that she’d “never been a quitter.”
Underwood also shared a series of photos from the epic show, much of which was executed sans rain. “Well, last night sure was fun! And though the ending was quite unexpected, it made for a night we’ll never forget!” she wrote on Instagram.

Dem governor under fire after illegal alien allegedly stabs woman to death at bus stop: ‘Heinous’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: The Department of Homeland Security is calling on Virginia’s Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger to ensure local law enforcement cooperates with federal immigration officials by handing over an illegal immigrant with a lengthy criminal record who allegedly killed a woman earlier this week at a Virginia bus stop.
Police in Fairfax County, Virginia, arrested an illegal immigrant from Sierra Leone earlier this week on charges of second-degree murder after he allegedly fatally stabbed a woman, Stephanie Minter, 41, who was found dead at a local bus stop with several wounds to the upper body.
The alleged suspect, Abdul Jalloh, 32, also has a criminal history of more than 30 arrests, according to DHS, including for rape, malicious wounding, assault, identity theft, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, assault and pick-pocketing.
The request from the Trump administration comes after the newly elected Democratic governor of Virginia signed an executive order to end cooperation between federal immigration officials and state and local law enforcement, a move several Democratic Party governors have taken recently amid President Donald Trump’s move to increase deportation operations around the country.
The DHS request asking Virginia officials to cooperate with ICE also comes after an illegal immigrant allegedly murdered someone just days after being released from jail for a separate crime in December.

“We are calling on Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger and Virginia’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this murderer and violent career criminal from their jail without notifying ICE,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
“This illegal alien’s murder of an innocent, beautiful American woman came less than 24 hours before Governor Spanberger’s demonization of ICE law enforcement. This heinous criminal is a perfect example of why we need cooperation from sanctuary jurisdictions and the importance of third country removals for the safety of the American people.”
Spanberger’s representatives did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Jalloh entered the United States illegally in 2012, according to DHS, and immigration officials lodged an immigration detainer against him in 2020, whereupon he was granted a final order of removal by a judge who said he could be removed to any country other than Sierra Leone.

DHS indicated that ICE cooperation to ensure Jalloh’s deportation is evident after a case Fox News covered in December when a criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, Marvin Morales-Ortez, 23, allegedly killed a man just a day after Fairfax County jail officials let him go.
The immigrant from El Salvador had been in custody on charges of malicious wounding and brandishing a gun, but police released him after the Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, led by George Soros-backed prosecutor Steve Descano, dropped the charges.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Fairfax County Sheriff’s office to inquire about why the man had not been handed over to ICE.
The sheriff’s office said, “ICE was aware of Morales-Ortez’s incarceration and elected not to seek a judicial warrant to ensure he remained in custody.

“The Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office follows all local, state and federal laws when determining whether a person is subject to release from the ADC,” the sheriff’s office told Fox News Digital at the time. “Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is automatically notified any time a person is booked into the ADC.”
