Fire officials said one person was also outside on the grass upon arrival and told firefighters someone else was inside. As that person was on a stretcher about to be loaded into an ambulance, NFD said they took off running. Because they ran, authorities said it is unclear the extent of their injuries.

The second person was allegedly found asleep in a bedroom inside the home. Although there was no fire damage, fire crews said because of severe smoke conditions, the person was unable to get out of the unit on their own. They were taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for smoke inhalation. The status of their injuries is also unknown.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. No firefighters were injured.
