Firefighters extinguished a fire on country artist Carrie Underwood's property on Sunday night, but fortunately it appears that everyone is safe.

Williamson County Fire Rescue in Tennessee responded around 9:40 p.m. to a call reporting a fire in the Grammy-award-winner's garage, according to News 2 at local station WKRN. News 2 reported that firefighters tapped into a 10,000-gallon water tank on Underwood's remote property in the Pinewood community near Leiper’s Fork to quickly put out the fire. Firefighters remained on the property for hours, as the fire had penetrated the garage walls and hot spots were flaring up during the night.

The "Jesus Take the Wheel" singer and her family were at home, but no one was injured in the fire. Investigators are working to determine if the fire was sparked by a utility terrain vehicle (UTV) parked next to the garage. E! News reported that emergency responders were initially told that a "UTV was on fire next to the garage."

There have been recalls for certain ATVs and UTVs in recent years due to fire hazards, though there's no word of what model Underwood owned.

“There was a fire on the property on Sunday night, which was quickly contained. There was no fire damage to the primary residence, and the family and their pets were unharmed," a spokesperson told media.

Underwood and husband Mike Fisher are parents to sons Isaiah, 9, and Jacob, 5.
