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.

Faith leaders asked to help members get legal help
June 19, 2013 15:44 GMT
(Eds: APNewsNow. Will be updated.) By TRAVIS LOLLER Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A group in Tennessee is using faith leaders to connect people in need of legal help with attorneys willing to provide free services.
The faith-based initiative of Tennessee's Access to Justice Commission aims to reach people at a place they already go for help: their churches, mosques and synagogues. Faith leaders then put needy members in touch with participating attorneys.
The Legal Services Corp. estimates that fewer than one in ?ve low-income people in the U.S. get the legal assistance they need.
Various programs exist to bridge this gap, but experts say there's nothing quite like the Tennessee initiative. In part, that's because it recognizes that many people who could use an attorney's help won't seek legal aid because they don't see their problem as a legal one.
