MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WGNS) – Murfreesboro Fire Rescue Department (MFRD) crews were called Saturday to battle a residential fire that broke out on Hamberton Circle. The fire started in a laundry room appliance, but thanks to a quick response, the fire was contained.
Upon arrival, the crew from Engine 9 discovered smoke and flames coming from a clothes dryer. Firefighters acted quickly to douse the fire. The crew disconnected the dryer and moved the unit to the exterior of the residence.
