Franklin, TN – Climb aboard for a day of fire trucks, fun, and a free ride! The Franklin Fire Department invites the community to its Open House on Saturday, September 6, from 10:00 AM to noon at Fire Station 6, located at 1061 Cool Springs Boulevard.

To help ease congestion and improve access, the department is encouraging attendees to take advantage of a free shuttle service provided by the Franklin Transit Authority. The shuttle will run continuously from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, starting an hour before the event begins. Guests can park and ride from Publix at McKay’s Mill Village Center (1400 Liberty Pike), just under a mile away—a quick 4-minute ride from the station! With limited onsite parking, this is the easiest and most convenient way to attend.

• 10:30 AM – Live fire demonstration by the National Fire Sprinkler Association
