Also member of a local fire dept in Franklin County. Although I witnessed the event in Granville County, a 911 call was reported to Franklin County about a possible plane crash in Louisburg as a result of this fireball sighting. Smoke trail was noticed by emergency responders from Vance and Franklin Counties
