Despite the wind blowing their roof off, Blue Ridge firefighters still worked to help those in need during a tornado in Collin County.
PUBLISHED 4:17 PM CDT Apr. 06, 2022BLUE RIDGE, Texas — Volunteer firefighters in Blue Ridge, Texas, were inside the fire station when a tornado hit Collin County. Firefighters were gearing up to be dispatched to weather-related emergencies when the building shattered.
Corbin Nolan was one of the firefighters on “storm watch” duty on Monday night at the Blue Ridge Fire Department. They were inside, watching the weather and getting ready, knowing a call would come at any second. The emergency calls came in at that moment. The first one was a car wash right next door to the fire station.
Nobody was hurt, but the tornado destroyed the building. Lt. Steve Straka said everything inside was destroyed as well.
