Franklin County Cancels Independence Day Fireworks Event – Because of unforeseen events, Franklin County issued the below statement in regard to the annual Independence Day fireworks: “Franklin County is saddened by the loss of life from the fire in Lenoir County … which resulted in several injuries to firefighters fighting a fire which also included the detonation of commercial-grade fireworks in a storage container. As a result of the destruction of the fireworks – which would have been used in this year’s celebration – and the lack of time to find replacements, the county will have to cancel this year’s Independence Day fireworks and accompanying festivities.”
