The Rising Country Artist Thanked God As Well As First Responders For Helping Keep Everyone Safe
“Yesterday was nothing short of a miracle, but God is SO SO good!!” wrote country singer Tayler Holder, 28, in a video post on Instagram.
Tayler’s barn property in Pleasant View, Tennessee, which is just outside of Nashville, was almost burned to the ground on Monday, Dec. 15.
Inside, there were many animals, including pigs and goats, and Tayler expressed how he thought he had “lost all of them” to the flames.
However, Tayler and his friends “caught it right as it happened.”
In a dramatic video of the blaze, we see Tayler and his girlfriend, Zoey Aune, joined by some of their friends as they run toward the burning barn.
Thick, dark smoke is beginning to billow out of the barn when Tayler arrives inside.
Immediately, Tayler goes into rescue-mode, trying to break down the wire pins holding some of his animals. Unable to break through, he hops into the pin that is beside the source of the fire, and hoists the goat over the top of the pin to his girlfriend in a neighboring pin. Then, he catches another goat and does the same.
One of his friends is routinely pouring water onto the flames as they near the pin that Tayler is standing inside.
Continuing to evacuate the premises, Zoey can be seen grabbing a loose pig.
Shortly after, the Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department can be seen arriving at the property, and the fire is soon extinguished.
Concluding his post, Tayler wrote, “All of the animals are okay and safe and a HUGE thank you to pleasant view Fire department for being here within minutes.”
