Jeff Sheets who is a grandfather who lives nearby in a separate home where his daughter, his son in law and four grandchildren live is being praised for taking action early Friday morning when a fire broke out in the home of his relatives by waking them up around 4:30am when he saw a fire in the home of his daughter. Jeff ran toward the home of his daughter Bekah Russom her husband Roland Russom who were asleep at the time to wake them up as well as her four children and get them out of the burning home as quickly as possible before it was too late. Thanks to the actions of Jeff, no one was seriously injured. The fire department was able to put out the fire quickly even though the farm was severely damaged to the point where it will take at least a year to rebuild. The cause of the fire according to the fire department was hot grease got into the walls and roof. The farm will be rebuilt thanks to the kindness of donors from GoFundMe.com. Bekah praised her dad as a person who cares a lot for the welfare of his loved ones. The incident took place in Leipers Fork Tennessee.

I know exactly where Leiper's Fork is located. Many famous people live there too. Naomi Judd, Justin Timberlake owns land there, Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman, and more. Great story by the way.

@CarolDM Thank you for telling me since most celebs like to live in huge cities.

@Deepizzaguy Many more. It is a nice fairly small and secluded area.

I agree with you since his daughter mentioned that he does not get up that early in the morning at all.
