🚒🏊 Stay safe in and around the water this summer!

Whether you're cooling off at a pool, lake, beach, or backyard, taking a few simple precautions can help prevent water-related emergencies.

The Franklin Fire Department encourages everyone to review these important swimming safety tips before heading out. Remember, drowning can happen quickly and quietly, and constant supervision is the best way to keep children safe around water.

Have fun. Be prepared. Stay safe this summer!
