Here are the top three stories in Franklin today:

1. A fire significantly damaged a home in Franklin's Westhaven neighborhood, displacing a family of five. Early Friday morning, firefighters were dispatched to a two-story home on Stonewater Boulevard, where they found a rapidly-extending garage fire spreading to the bonus room and attic space above it. Thankfully, all five residents escaped unharmed, along with their two dogs and guinea pig; a cat that has not yet been accounted for is believed to be outside. (Press Release Desk)
2. A Franklin-based real estate agency has acquired subfranchisor rights to expand into Texas. EXIT Southeast's regional owners, Kenny Lynn and Stacy Strobl, have added Texas to the region which already included Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennesse. According to Lynn, the company plans to make the EXIT opportunity available throughout small towns and large cities alike. (williamsonherald.com)
