A Sunday afternoon fire destroyed one home, heavily damaged another, and charred five acres of woodlands in the Cove Hollow Community off Dale Ridge Road.

According to Assistant Chief Anthony Boyd, the DeKalb County Fire Department was summoned to 175 Village Way to the lake home of Steven Chamberlain, who was not at home when the fire started. Chamberlain’s primary residence is in Hendersonville.

The cause of the fire is undetermined. Assistant Chief Boyd said neighbors who were inside their own homes at the time heard something and came outside to discover the fire. 911 was alerted at 3:28 p.m.

The blaze consumed the home and all contents. Heat from the fire then sparked a blaze at the neighbor lake home of Keith and Teresa Harmon at 160 Village Way. The Harmon’s were not present at the time. Their primary residence is in Murfreesboro.

Although the Harmon home was heavily damaged, the dining room and a bedroom were spared except for some smoke and water damage.

Two people were injured in a rainy Thursday night crash in Smithville near the intersection of Highway 146 and Adams Street.

According to the Tennessee Highway Patrol, 20-year-old Dalton Allen Mathias was traveling north in a 2009 Nissan Altima in the right lane of Highway 146 as 33-year-old Benjamin Jacob Franklin was east on Gentry Avenue in a 2017 Kia Sorento. After coming to a stop sign at the intersection of Highway 146, Franklin attempted to cross the highway to head east on Adams Street when he crossed the path of Mathias’ vehicle.

The front end of Mathias’ car collided with the right side of Franklin’s automobile. As Mathias’ car came to a final rest off the right side of Highway 146 on Adams Street, Franklin’s car ran off the right side of the roadway, collided with a house and then hit a tree where it came to a final rest.

Although both Mathias and Franklin were wearing their seatbelts, both were injured.
