Fire devastates downtown with half million in damages
A Friday fire in downtown Point Pleasant destroyed the City Pharmacy and the Music Box, with two other firms Cohen's Drug Store and the Ben Franklin Co. heavily damaged. Three hours of blaze drew help from five departments, injuring two firefighters while residents watched from the street. Fire officials blamed a malfunctioning night light that started the blaze.
