Wide receiver Randall Cobb and his family narrowly escaped a fire at their Nashville, Tennessee home this week after a Tesla charger caught fire in their garage.

The stand out wide receiver and current free agent and his wife Aiyda shared a joint post on Instagram stating that they are "lucky to be alive."

"We got out of the house with nothing but the clothes on our backs and no shoes on our feet," she wrote.

Here's What They're Not Telling You About Your Retirement

Cobb expressed gratitude to the Nashville Fire Department "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," Cobb wrote. "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."

"We are grateful for our incredible community in Nashville, and the support from our close friends that have given us a temporary roof over our heads and shoulders to lean on," he added.
