Fire burns over a dozen cars at Johnston Co. salvage yard

Firefighters responded to a fire at a large salvage yard on U.S. 70 and Sadisco Road between Wilson’s Mills and Clayton.

The Wilson Mill’s fire chief said the fire was under control in under 40 minutes, adding that 16 vehicles burned.

The facility stores as many as 10,000 used cars and trucks at a time.

Other fire departments assisted since the Wilson Mill’s Fire Department had a limited water supply.

According to the fire chief, the Johnston County Fire Department is investigating the fire and the cause is unknown.
