According to People Magazine, Randall Cobb is lucky to be alive. The free agent wide receiver who played last season with the Jets was able to escape a house fire with his family and save their dog.

The house caught on fire in the garage late last night and quickly spread. The report says a Tesla charger caught fire and quickly spread.

Cobb was able to escape with his wife and three children. He then ran back in and saved his dog.

The garage fire occurred on Tuesday, June 25. When firefighters arrived at the home, they found flames coming from the garage. Crews put out the fire, but it damaged the contents of the garage.

Cobb posted this on his Instagram:

“We got out of the house and I was able to go back in and get our dog, Louie. We can’t thank Chief Caruthers, Captain Irvin and the Nashville Fire Department enough for their swift action.”

“I can’t get the image of the brave firefighter getting into position out of my head; he didn’t even have water to shoot yet. I truly thought the cars were going to explode and that we would lose him to this tragedy. He is a true hero.”

“Unfortunately we don’t know how much, if anything, will be salvageable, but this has been a reminder that nothing is more important than the health of our family.”
