Glad Rolando has a steady job in the pros right now but I can't imagine all the irreplaceable things he lost tonight.

Was it a really nice house?

I hope no one was hurt and the damage was limited to just his place.

Uhh, yeah. Good thing is that things can be replaced, people can't.

I guess with the house being empty, the fire department didn't find out it was on fire until it was too late. Looks like a complete loss, the house will need to be leveled and the lot cleared.

Tuscaloosa News story

The Lake Tuscaloosa home of pro football player Rolando McClain of the Dallas Cowboys burned to the ground Monday evening.

No one was home at the time, and no injuries occurred in fighting the blaze at the lakefront mansion, said Fire Chief Tom Clarke of the Carroll's Creek Volunteer Fire Department.

Tuscaloosa County property records show McClain's residence was at 15139 Waters Edge Drive.

The fire was spotted at about 6 p.m., and Clarke said the entire house was well engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived, making it impossible to save. The Tuscaloosa Fire and Rescue Service also responded and helped fight the fire, preventing it from possibly spreading to neighboring properties. A call to the Tuscaloosa battalion chief who was at the scene was not immediately returned last night.

Thanks for the local link. I'm curious if the house was up for sale, and if it was, for how long? The linked article says the house was his off-season home, which makes me think it might not have been on the market.

It was for sale for $1.5 million.

Haha - the blue font fooled me but you are correct - if the previous poster had the right address.

Here it is on Zillow

Was there any foul play involved or was this just an accident?

Blue font? That's the hyperlink to the zillow page. The address is from the Tuscaloosa News story. One of the pictures posted earlier for the "before and after" picture is one posted in the Zillow listing.

Potentially. Tuscaloosa PD is investigating it.
