A long-time Anderson, Ind., truck dealer plans to rebuild after a fire destroyed the facility.
Duke's Truck Center in Anderson, Ind., has sold and serviced trucks on Anderson's south side since 1968. Last weekend it was destroyed by a fire that apparently was caused by a hot water heater. As it burned, diesel fuel and oil in the building sparked several small explosions and brought traffic on Interstate 69 to a standstill, according to the Associated Press. According to published reports, damage estimates are at least $1 million.
No one was injured, but three trucks inside the building were destroyed. Owner John Paugh has said he plans to rebuild.
Fire investigators said the fire started in the center's washroom when a gas water heater ignited fumes.
