While we maybe getting into a time of year where typically, home fires decrease – Murfreesboro Fire and Rescue Chief Mark Foulks said that fires still happen and residents should not let their guard down. Foulks said that one of the best tools in fighting fires is a smoke detector…
Sadly, a story that WGNS aired in January highlighted what can happen when smoke detectors are not installed or not working. 33-Year old Kendra LaNae Malone and her 5-year-old son Kamden Joseph Hayes, died in the duplex fire on January 30, 2021 on Craig Court.
