Have you heard about the scary incident involving Randall Cobb and his family? They had a close call recently when a Tesla charger caused a fire in their home. Luckily, they were able to make it out safely, but it was definitely a harrowing experience.
Imagine this – you’re at home, minding your own business, when all of a sudden you notice smoke coming from the garage. That’s exactly what happened to Randall Cobb and his family. They quickly realized that the fire was coming from their Tesla charger, and they knew they had to act fast.
Cobb’s wife, Aiyda, revealed details of the harrowing blaze on her Instagram story.
“We are lucky to be alive,” she wrote.
“The Tesla charger caught on fire in the garage late last night and quickly spread. We got out of the house with nothing but the clothes on our back and no shoes on our feet. I’ll explain more later but posting this in case I miss any appts, calls, texts, meetings. Thank you GOD.”
The Cobbs have three young sons, Cade, Caspian and Chance.
Later on Wednesday, Randall provided an update on the situation on Instagram.
“Thank you all for the love and positive messages,” he wrote.
“First and foremost, we are all safe and healthy. We got out of the house and I was able to go back in and get our dog, Louie. We can’t thank Chief Caruthers, Captain Irvin and the Nashville Fire Department enough for their swift action. I can’t get the image of the brave firefighter getting into position out of my head; he didn’t even have water to shoot yet.
“I truly thought the cars were going to explode and that we would lode him to this tragedy. He is a true hero. Unfortunately we don’t know how much, if anything, will be salvageable, but this has been a reminder that nothing is more important than the health of our family. We are grateful for our incredible community in Nashville, and the support from our close friends that have given us a temporary roof over our heads and shoulders to lean on.”
Randall Cobb played last year for the Jets, joining the team along with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, whom he played with for 10 years on the Packers.
So, let’s all take a moment to be thankful that Randall Cobb and his family are safe and sound. It’s a scary situation, but they are definitely counting their blessings. Here’s to staying safe and being grateful for every day we have.
