FRANKLIN, Tenn. (WTVF) — Fire crews responded to a house fire call at a mansion in Franklin off Long Lane near Gosey Hill Saturday afternoon.

Three departments helped contain the fire after about two hours. Chief Brian Jones with Williamson Fire & Rescue said no one lived at the home, but a construction crew was working inside during the fire.
