The call to J&B Equipment Sales, N. Franklin St., came in just after 12 a.m. Monday. Video shot by a neighboring resident showed the building was engulfed in flames. Firefighters were at the scene for several hours and the intersection of U.S. and Ohio 118 was closed until approximately 6 a.m.

No injuries were reported. No other information was available.
