Franklin Volunteer Fire/Rescue Department

1711 FD was dispatched to a 18wheeler trailer on fire on I85 32mm South. Tanker and Rescue arrived on scene all tires on trailer on fire. FD extinguished and no major injuries reported.

The Franklin Volunteer Fire Rescue Department is deeply appreciative of the Mid-South RC&D Grant that enabled us to purchase 2 SCBA packs and 4 air bottles. The 2 new SCBA packs will be placed in our Rescue truck that did not have any. The new SCBA packs will enable the Franklin VFRD to continue to provide uninterrupted service to the citizens of the Town of Franklin and when providing mutual aid to our neighboring departments.

Please join us in saying THANK YOU to the Mid-South RC&D Board of Directors, Senator William Beasley and Representative Pebblin Warren for making this possible!
