Fire Destroys North Carolina Home Used by Denny Hamlin’s Parents

Crews battled the blaze without nearby hydrants, trucking in water to the rural site.

Overview

  • Two people were taken to a hospital for possible smoke inhalation, and authorities have not released their identities or conditions.
  • The fire was reported at 6:19 p.m. ET with roughly 40% to 45% of the structure burning on arrival, and the house was later declared a total loss.
  • Between 10 and 15 departments responded to the scene because the area lacks fire hydrants and required tanker shuttles for water.
  • Firefighters removed several vehicles and racing memorabilia from the garage before they were damaged.
  • Public records list Won One Real Estate, a company linked to Hamlin, as the owner, and officials say the residence is used by his parents as the cause remains under investigation and Hamlin has not commented.
