Marshall Damage assessment
Thursday, the Marshall Fire Department took KTBS around Marshall, Texas as they assessed damage in areas. Several had awnings to collapse. One major collapse happened at the Fast Food gas station. A young boy and a man was sent to the hospital with minor lower body injuries after the awning over gas pumps fell onto their truck. They were there getting gas.Â
Employee Beverly Winch was there when it happened. I heard a loud boom and the whole building shook and I turned around and saw what happened and just started screaming, call 911, check on the people, call the boss, shut down the pumps go, said Winch. Just to make sure everything s okay and make sure that people were okay was the main thing. It felt good to be able to help out but it was a really horrifying experience.
MARSHALL, Tx- In Marshall Texas, those without a place to stay during the winter weather have been welcomed to take shelter in Fire Station #1 in Marshall.
