Franklin Fire - Rescue

05/29/2026

Franklin Fire & Rescue is proud to share that we recently completed our OSFM inspection and maintained our current fire ratings. Franklin Municipal remains a Class 3 and Franklin Rural remains a Class 4/9E. These ratings reflect a lot of hard work from our members, support from our Town and County partners, and continued focus on training, equipment, staffing, water supply, communications, and response readiness. Thank you to everyone who helps us keep moving forward and serving our community.

Franklin Fire & Rescue encourages our community to take a few minutes and complete the Town of Franklin Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan survey. Your input can help shape safer sidewalks, crosswalks, bike routes, school routes, downtown access, and pedestrian safety throughout Franklin. As first responders, we see how important visibility, safe crossings, and good traffic flow are for both public safety and emergency response.

Busy afternoon for the crews today. We responded to a rear end collision on Highlands rd. All occupants walked away with no injuries. Thank you to Macon County EMS and Macon County North Carolina 911 for the assistance and support.

Tonight's training was on hose deployments and advancements. Sounds simple but without a little preplanning advancing a hose line could become difficult.

Franklin Fire & Rescue is looking for a few gently used leather couches or recliners to help create a small lounge area in our apparatus bay for our members to use between calls, trainings, and department events. Leather is preferred because it is easier to clean and holds up better in a fire station setting. If you have something in decent condition that you would be willing to donate, please send us a message with a photo. Thank you for always supporting our department and our members.

We were graced with the future of our county and country today at the station. The second grade of South Macon Elementary came and toured the station. They learned about everything fire related.
