Around 5:45 Friday (12/21/2018) evening, Murfreesboro Fire and Rescue Districts 1, 3, and 4 and Rescues 2 and 8 responded to fire in a two-story town house at 1036 Silver Point Drive.
Crews arrived on scene to find one side of the duplex fully involved on both the first and second floors.
According to Battalion Chief Daryl Alexander, crews got the fire extinguished quickly and were able to keep it from spreading to the other unit.
Several initial reports suggested that there were people inside the affected unit, but fortunately multiple searches confirmed no one was inside.
The cause of the fire is unknown at this time, but Fire Public Information Officer Ashley McDonald told WGNS that it was not started by a heat source.
The Fire Marshal's Office is conducting a routine investigation to determine the cause of the blaze.
Silver Point Drive is a short dead-end road that is off SE Broad Street, between Middle Tennessee Boulevard and Tremont Drive.
