Severe Storm Tears Roof Off Blue Ridge (TX) Fire Station

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.

Sartell (MN) Fire Department’s Tower 21 on Cusp of

FA reported late last year that the Sartell Fire Department was set to take delivery of Tower 21, a $1.2 million, 100-foot E-ONE platform truck.

Well, the department did, and the fire truck went through all the pageantry and such:

Now, wjon.com reports, the apparatus is set to be put in service.

The new truck replaces the department’s 1999 ladder. It’ll join two engines, two grass trucks, an air van, two water tenders, and a rescue truck on the department’s fleet.
