The Maryville Fire Department has plans to hold a push-in ceremony for its new apparatus this afternoon at 4:30.

The fire truck is a Rosenbauer aerial, and the ceremony will be at the R. Keith Wood Public Safety Building at 101 N. Vine.

The fire station in the North Texas town of Blue Ridge was damaged Monday night when a storm packing tornados and strong winds passed through, reports WFAA.

Thunderstorms, hale, and strong winds had just passed through town, and six firefighters sheltering inside the station were expecting that the worst has passed when winds tore off the station roof.

No one was injured in the incident and no major apparatus were lost as the damage mainly was confined to the station’s meeting hall.
