Rutherford County, TN — An 18-year-old charged with arson after an investigation by the Rutherford County Fire Marshal’s Office reportedly determined a mobile home fire was intentionally set, will appear in court next week. The fire occurred 2-months ago in the 9300 block of Franklin Road.
On April 21, 2022 Rutherford County Fire & Rescue, the Almaville Volunteer Fire Department, Rutherford County Emergency Medical Services, and the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a mobile home fire on Franklin Road, also known as Highway 96.
