FRANKLIN, Ind. - The Franklin Fire Department responded to a working residence fire in the 500 block of Mallory Parkway on Monday night, March 16.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Mutual aid partners that assisted in extinguishing the blaze were the Whiteland, Bargersville, White River Township, and Amity Fire Departments.
