Nashville firefighters were kept busy on a frigid, windy night with a night of fire calls.
Even before the fire calls, Nashville District Fire Chief Ricky Taylor says they were busy with power outages due to high winds. Then four different fire calls throughout the night around Nashville kept the firefighters blood circulating.
Two calls came out at 11 p.m. One at a house at 3325 Panorama Drive in Bordeaux that had light smoke and was quickly contained, but a fire at 717 Lischey Ave. in east Nashville occurred in an unoccupied home.
The fire started in the living room, and was contained there. Taylor says an investigator will come out tomorrow to determine a cause.
Firefighters were also called to the Grandview Apartments in west Nashville after midnight, which turned out to be minor.
A house at 4520 Winston Drive in north Nashville suffered extensive damage after a fire started in the den and spread into the wall. Firefighters had to open up the wall on two floors, but were able to contain the fire in about 10 minutes.The rest of the house suffered smoke and water damage. The residents are staying elsewhere for the night.
Taylor said their smoke detectors went off and "that's a good thing."
No one was injured in any of the fires.

Houston brother will be his own attorney in court
June 18, 2013 13:02 GMT
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Roane County man will face federal gun violation charges next month without an attorney.
The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/17VlXpM ) reported Rocky Joe Houston will represent himself on a charge of possession of a gun by a felon.
The charge came after Houston earlier represented himself in state court on charges stemming from a police chase. He was convicted of evading arrest and reckless endangerment.
Houston and his brother, Leon Houston, were tried, but not convicted, in the 2006 shooting deaths of a Roane County deputy and his ride-along companion.
In federal court, Rocky Joe Houston is claiming the officer who charged him with the felony had no legal authority.
