In Nashville, Tennessee, NFL wide receiver Randall Cobb and his wife, Aiyda, recently experienced a terrifying ordeal when a fire broke out in their garage. The cause of the fire was traced back to a Tesla charger that had malfunctioned.
The couple shared their harrowing experience on Instagram, expressing gratitude for escaping the fire with their lives. Despite losing all their possessions in the blaze, Aiyda Cobb expressed her appreciation for being alive and safe.
In a joint statement, the Cobbs thanked the Nashville Fire Department for their quick response and for rescuing their family dog, Louie. They recounted the intense experience of watching a firefighter risk his life to contain the fire before it spread to their cars, which they feared would explode.
The Cobbs shared their uncertainty about what can be salvaged from the fire damage but emphasized that nothing is more important than their family’s well-being. They expressed appreciation for the support of their community in Nashville and friends who have provided them with temporary shelter and emotional support during this difficult time.
Videos posted on Instagram showed the extent of the damage caused by the fire to their garage and vehicles. Randall Cobb, a 33-year-old free agent who played for the New York Jets in 2023 after stints with other teams such as Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys, expressed his gratitude for his safety despite losing all his possessions.
The incident has brought attention to potential hazards associated with using certain electronic devices like Tesla chargers without proper maintenance or safety measures in place.
The Cobbs remain grateful for being able to start anew and rebuild their lives with support from family and friends.
