First responders honored for tornado recovery efforts in Vernon County
The Vernon County Republican Central Committee held a ceremony on the lawn of the county courthouse in Nevada this evening.
Missouri Representative Dane Diehl kicked the event off, presenting a resolution to recognize the service of the first responders.
Each department that responded after the tornado received an award commemorating its service to the community.
'So I think we all responded really well we set up command very quickly and all the department heads got together and we were able to search a big wide pattern trying to get everything under control pretty quickly,' said Chief Taylor McKlintic, Nevada Fire Department.
McKlintic tells us the county is tackling ongoing recovery efforts in partnership with FEMA and SEMA.
He says while city property and area businesses are mostly cleaned up and open for business, there's still work to be done on homes that were impacted.
