Everytown is a movement of Americans working together to end gun violence and build safer communities. Gun violence touches every town in America. For too long, change has been thwarted by the Washington gun lobby and by leaders who refuse to take common-sense steps that will save lives. But something is changing. More than 6 million mayors, moms, cops, teachers, survivors, gun owners, and everyday Americans have come together to make their own communities safer. Together, we are fighting for the changes that we know will save lives. Everytown starts with you, and it starts in your town.

FRANKLIN Amidst a cacophony of shrill, ear-splitting warning alarms, a voice crackles across the radio waves connecting members of the Franklin Fire Department with each other like an invisible safety net. I need help! I got separated from my team! I need help! the voice urges. My air is low! Hurry, hurry, I need help!
Standing outside the scene, Battalion Chief Chuck Allen receives the Mayday and takes immediate action, launching a four-person Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) to respond.
Within two minutes, members of the team are crawling through the active scene in full gear, doling out a safety line like breadcrumbs in Hansel and Gretel s forest blindly making their way toward their fallen brother.
