Fire heavily damages Trace Adkins home near Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn (Reuters) - Country music star Trace Adkins' home in a Nashville suburb was heavily damaged by fire on Saturday, but no injuries were reported, police and fire officials said.

Adkins was headed to Alaska for a fishing trip before a tour date in Fairbanks and his wife, Rhonda, was not home when the fire broke out at their home in Brentwood, Tennessee, south of Nashville, she told reporters.

The Adkins' daughters who were home and a sitter quickly escaped the house without injury, she said.

The full Brentwood Fire Department was sent to the scene and the department was expected to remain there well into the night, a fire dispatcher said.
