NFL star wide receiver Randall Cobb and his wife dealt with a terrifying, life-threatening situation this week when their house caught fire overnight, and it sounds like the harrowing events nearly claimed their lives.

Randall Cobb and his wife Aiyda gave an update on social media this week as they shared that they are “lucky to be alive” after a fire began in their garage and quickly spread to the rest of their house.

“We are lucky to be alive,” Aiyda wrote on social media. “The Tesla charger caught on fire in the garage late last night and quickly spread. We got out of the house with nothing but the clothes on our back and no shoes on our feet.”

Randall Cobb also expressed his gratitude for the firefighters who risked their own lives and sprung into action.

“Thank you for all the love and positive messages,” Cobb wrote on social media. “First and foremost, we are all safe and healthy. We got out of the house and I was able to get 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 cards were going to explode and that we would lose him in 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.”

Needless to say, it sounds like a terrifying situation and it led to a lof of reactions on social media.

Obviously, it’s a horrible situation but the good news is that they are safe.
