“The home Trace Adkins shares with his family has been lost in a fire that began early Saturday evening. Thankfully, Mr. Adkins, his wife Rhonda and their three daughters are unharmed. The blaze spread rapidly but was quickly contained and did not spread to any other homes.”
“Trace wishes to express his gratitude for the immediate response of the Brentwood Fire Department and is humbled by the outpouring of concern from friends and fans.”
At the time of the fire, Trace was en route to Alaska, where he was scheduled to perform later this week. Upon landing, he learned of the tragedy and immediatley boarded a return flight home.
The Adkins family request that you take time to practice Fire Safety drill with your family, learn more at firesafety.gov/ and firehouse.com

Hey distant cuz,
Sorry about your house & material possessions & really happy you & your family are all doing well. Nell was going through lots of old photos after Bill passed & Doug Pickett has done some family tree research. You might get copies or leads for things from your past from them or other relatives, friends, & fans. Let me know if I can help with anything. Take care.

June 6th, 2011 at 3:30 am
Trace you and your family are in our prayers i am glad the most precious thing in your life is safe and not harm. we will discuss a excape plan and where to meet once we get out safe
June 6th, 2011 at 3:39 am
I’ve heard losing a Home to a fire is very hard to deal with. I am grateful no one was home at the time of the fire. Trace will do his benefits and tour dates, because he Is Very Special that way.
June 6th, 2011 at 4:53 am
God bless you and your family. I have dealt with a fire before and it changes your outlook when everyone gets out safety-you understand the meaning of a miracle, because of how fast a fire spreads, you can’t imagine that anyone can get out of “that”. It only takes one breath of smoke to take you out-be safe.
June 6th, 2011 at 7:01 am
Thank God everyone got out safely. My prayers to you and your family.
June 6th, 2011 at 7:07 am
Hang in there!

Trace,
My heart is heavy this morning as I have just found out about the tragic news. I am grateful to God that you and your family are all ok. Sending my love and prayers. God bless you
June 6th, 2011 at 8:31 am
So sorry about the loss of your home. A few years ago I lost my home to fire as well. We were blessed that we were out of town when it happened. Ours was a total loss as well. The things that we miss the most are not the things that had monetary value. It’s the centimental things that can not be replaced. The most important thing is that your family is safe. From the time of the loss of my home I have had a different perspective about what is most important. It’s the people we love. Things can be replaced … people can’t. My children were 12 and 15 at the time. It changed the way they prioritize everything in their lives. I know it hurts terribly bad right now but time will ease the pain. Keep the family close and love each other. I will keep each of you in my prayers. At the time that I lost my home, it helped a lot to talk with someone that had lived through the same experience. Since that time I have reached out to others in the same situation and want you to know that I am here for you… only an email away.
June 6th, 2011 at 8:35 am
Thank Goodness everyone is safe! Fire Safety drills are so important for families.
June 6th, 2011 at 8:38 am

June 6th, 2011 at 10:31 am
We have been fans from the beginning and have always been impressed with the kind of man you are. We are sure God will use this tragedy to help you and your family to be even more effective witnesses to His grace in dealing with loss and healing from it. God bless you and your loved ones…!
June 6th, 2011 at 10:35 am
Thank God your family is safe and sound. That is your most precious possessions! You can rebuild the rest, take care and may God Bless you in this mess!

I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of your home (ugh happened on my birthday). But I’m so glad you and your family are all ok. My late husband Ron was a volunteer firefighter, so I have a lot of respect for them and their bravery and desire to help others. I’m glad the Brentwood fire department responded quickly. I know it will be rough rebuilding, but I hope this tragedy will bring your family even closer. Good luck and god bless you all. <3

Trace and Rhonda,
God Bless you and your family. I too have 3 children and when they were little I often thought about how I would get everyone to safety in event something happened. We too practiced the same safe spot where we would all meet. I am so happy your precious family is safe, with them you can rebuild all the things you’ve lost. If either of you need anything I am here to help too!

Glad to hear that your family was safe, that is the most important thing. Thank goodness for your nannies quick response for the safety of your children. There are no words for your loss of your family’s personal items. I met your wife Rhonda, kids and you at the concert in Newkirk. I am with Black Diamond that worked and provided sound with you. We took a picture at the end of the night. Sorry for your loss and glad to hear that you are all safe. Hope to work with you again.

June 6th, 2011 at 7:15 pm
Sorry about the material loss, but so very glad the family is all OK and that no one was hurt! We’ve been talking to our five year old about fire safety lately and this solidifies our need to not just talk but also put a plan into action ASAP.

June 6th, 2011 at 11:55 pm
Glad no one was hurt, as a volunteer firefighter I see how it affects the families of those who lose their homes. I’m also glad that the Adkins family is promoting fire safety, the best way to safe is to practice. God bless the Brentwood Fire Dept. and all who put their lives at risk, and God help the Adkins family cope with the loss of their home.
June 7th, 2011 at 12:39 am
You always give so much to all your fans and do so much for others. I am so sorry for the pain and sadness your family must feel. It is a joyful and wonderful day that the Lord has given you with the safety of your precious children. May peace be with each of you as you go through this difficult time.
June 7th, 2011 at 6:36 am
terrible loss to the family but everyone was safe
now on the other side it gives rhonda a new project
June 7th, 2011 at 7:11 am
My parents had a house fire when I was living in another city. It was hard, because I couldn’t come home to help (asthma and they were having enough troubles finding a place to stay at the time).
I did so much insurance paperwork to help out, because I knew what was in the house, too. Day in, day out.
Nobody was hurt in our fire, which was a real blessing. It was determined to be electrical, and the house was only about 10 years old and had passed inspection when my parents bought it about 5 years before the fire.
Anyhow, the hardest thing to understand was that there was clearly a “before the fire” and “after the fire.” We still refer to everything that way, years later.
No people were hurt in the fire, but we lost pets, which was hard. We lost pictures, and mom’s wedding dress, and I lost a book I used to read with my pappy. Memories more than material things… it was hard to lose those things which had a special meaning to them.
My heart goes out to you and your family. I’m just glad everyone was safe. I know you’ll be in for rough times and exhaustion, so sending prayers for strength and endurance and comfort.
June 7th, 2011 at 10:10 am
Adkin’s Family,
My heart goes out to you all for what you have endured and for the days ahead. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am truly so very thankful that everyone made it out of the home safely. May God bless you and be with you in the days ahead. Stay strong! ~ The Bray Family, Alabama

June 7th, 2011 at 10:53 am
Our prayers are with the Adkins family. So glad everyone is safe. I really hate that everything was lost, however, Material things can be replaced, life can not. I also live in Greene Co. where life was lost in the tornado, and in these times, all one can do is turn to god for strength.

Just wanted to let you know that you and your family are in our prayers. My son, his wife and three daughters had an electrical fire in this house on May 7th of this year. As with yourself, no one was home and the family all of the pets are safe. They won’t be able to move back into their home until sometime in September after being rennovated. Thank God everyone is safe.
