Best of Johnston County®

What if your local fire chief was the reason your community still felt like a community? What if the fire department wasn’t just answering 911 calls — but filling in where town halls, parades, and summer camps disappeared? In this episode, I sat down with Cleveland Fire Chief Chris Ellington, a man who quietly rebuilt the heart of a town that technically doesn’t exist. From saving lives to saving traditions… how far would you go for the place you call home?
