One woman is dead following a house fire on Albany Drive just outside of Franklin early Friday.
Fire crews responded to the home just after 2 a.m. and found the home more than 50 percent engulfed. The caller who phoned in the fire stated that her 84-year-old mother was still inside the home.
WCSO Deputies were first on scene and found the home completely engulfed in flames and were unable to enter the structure. Firefighters were also unable to enter the structure due to the amount of fire and roof collapse.
Three people were displaced due to the fire and are being assisted by the American Red Cross.

Talk of the Town Turns 40!
“One of the great things about working at NewsChannel 5 is learning about the remarkable history of the station itself. The names: Bob Lobertini…Chris Clark…Hope Hines…and, of course, Oprah. The newscasts, of course. But also: Night Train…Hee Haw…and TALK OF THE TOWN, which is now one of the longest-running locally produced talk shows in the country marking 40 years on the air. Our storyteller-in-chief Forrest Sanders offers this entertaining and nostalgic look back at the popular program we here refer to as…simply…‘TOTT’. Enjoy!”
