On Monday, your Franklin Firefighters teamed up with our peers from the Franklin Water Department, the Plainville and Millis Fire Departments to conduct a specialized technical rescue drill at the Grove Street Water treatment building.

Thank you to The Franklin Water Department for hosting us! It was a very successful training drill.

That welcome over a cup of tea, remind Williamson of his childhood. 

“The tea was just a way to talk,” said Williamson, who grew up in Cork, Ireland, with a mother who lit a burner for the teapot whenever company was invited over.
