"Thank you all for the love and positive messages," Cobb said in the Instagram post. "First and foremost, we are all safe and healthy. 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."
The wideout thanked the Nashville Fire Department for their swift action. According to NFL.com, the fire originally started in the garage. Cobb shared pictures from the aftermath that destroyed much of his and his family's home.
