Staying safe on Tennessee rivers as outdoor recreation ramps up
FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WKRN) — As summertime approaches, outdoor experts and public safety officials want to make sure all recreators are safe on Tennessee waterways. 'Making sure you're up to date on the forecast and any potential weather scenarios while you're going to be out on the river is pretty crucial,' Dylan Schultz, Operations Manager at Cumberland Kayak and Adventure Company, told News 2. Recently, the Franklin Police Department (FPD) hung up water safety signs near the Harpeth River with a QR code with tips to stay safe. 📧 Have breaking news come to you: → Officials say having ways to cool down from the heat, protect yourself from the sun, and being close enough to shore in case of any thunderstorms is key. Schultz also encourages kayakers to follow the American Canoe Association's float plan. 'You write down on a piece of paper, whether it's a sticky note or an index card, how many people you have going out on the water, where you guys are going, roughly when you plan it to be back, and you give that to somebody who's on land,' Schultz explained. Schultz said his company gives beginner kayaking lessons at the beginning of every trip. Those lessons can be a key resource as the FPD says most of their water rescues involve people who are inexperienced. In a safety video released by the FPD, Garrett Dreessen from the department's Dive and Swift Water Rescue Team said, 'Lately, we've had a lot of rain, making the water levels rise, and then also trees will fall into the river…and people don't know how to go around them. The best way to do that is to paddle to the shore and get out of the river, walk around it, and then get back in.' A spokesperson for FPD told News 2 the department has conducted numerous rescues of kayakers on the Harpeth River after inclement weather over the past five years. ⏩ FPD recommends always having a way to call 911, such as a waterproof phone or radio, staying hydrated, and wearing a life jacket because even strong swimmers can have trouble in cold, fast-flowing rivers. Experts also say if you're floating on a larger river like the Cumberland, to watch out for larger vessels and commercial traffic like boats and barges. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Drone finds Fremont burglary suspect trying to torch hiding spot: PD

While he was hiding, the man tried to set the field on fire, according to police. 'CHP officers will be vigilant': Patrols ramp up for Memorial Day weekend FPD said its officers responded to the burglary in-progress Monday at 7:22 p.m. in the 38000 block of Fremont Boulevard — and quickly surrounded the home — after a witness said they saw the man break into the residence using the front door. Police said they used a loudspeaker to communicate with the suspect, but there was no response until he ran to the rear of the home.

The suspect ultimately stopped running and hid in a field of tall grass near the residence,' said police in a news release. Police said they released a police K-9 to take the suspect into custody after failed attempts to get the man to surrender. The suspect, identified as Michael Bullock, 38, of Fremont, was arrested for residential burglary, attempted arson, and resisting, obstructing, or delaying a peace officer, said police.
