An abandoned barn and several outbuildings on South M-37 Highway were destroyed in an early evening fire on June 14 which is believed to have been started by an unattended trash fire.Because of the heat and smoke from the fire, the highway needed to be closed for about 45 minutes.
In August 2011, the Johnstown Township’s new building to house both the fire station and the Town Hall was completed. The fire station has six bays which allows all trucks and mobile equipment to be housed in the same building. In addition, there is ample space for storage of fire department equipment and supplies. The fire station also includes space for offices and a kitchen.
