Our sincere condolences to the City of Franklin Fire Department.It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of retired captain, Richard Lashbrook. Captain Lashbrook served the city of Franklin for 38 years and was a pioneer of the fire department EMS program as he was one of the first EMT's hired to operate on the Medic 1 ambulance. We can never know the number of lives saved and affected by his dedication and service. Thank you sir.

C-Shift Auto Extrication Training. After skills training the crew will now run a scenario in real-time.
E-201 is working a gas main cut on East Old Plank Rd. Old Plank is closed at 135 and west of Harriman.Harriman is closed at East street. Short street is closed at Wagon RD estimated 3 hours at least for repairs.
Day 2 of auto extrications training. B shift stepping it up with an inverted vehicle.
Whike your doing thay training can you train then to stop and talk to people before they cut the roof out and pull you out. When it happened to me it was 110% unnecessary.
Training this week is auto extrication basics and equipment familiarity.
White River Township Fire Department on site today for company level live fire drills.
The search team ( Aerial company) forces into the building through a locked door, searching for victims and locating and reporting the location of the fire. The attack team (Engine company) move to the fire and extinguish it. While this occurs, command calls for additional resources and apparatus operators charge lines, deploy ladders, and establish a water supply.
This week our crews are training on coordinated fire attack with victim search and removal. Aside from offering live fire training opportunities, our training facility includes a Bullex fire/smoke simulator that allows us to simulate fire conditions in a safer more controlled environment.
This is the view our firefighters get using the fire simulator. This tool gives us an opportunity to slow down the training and take time for correction and critique as the evolution progresses.
