Fire destroys Sullivan Electric in Johnston City
A downtown Johnston City fire destroyed Sullivan Electric Inc with five firefighters injured and three still in hospital. About 120 firefighters from seven area and ten surrounding departments battled the blaze, which halted traffic and prompted a boil order due to low water pressure. The two story building at 320 E Broadway housed equipment for laying underground cables and traffic signals, with 20,000 square feet of floor space and a loss of seven figures including five new trucks. Sullivan plans to operate from a home site within two weeks while seeking a new location with more parking.
