Three people including two first responders were injured by a falling tree in Anniston as storms moved through the area Thursday morning.
Authorities said they responded to a home after a resident was trapped inside by the falling tree. As they were trying to free the victim, a large limb or tree fell on top of them.
An Anniston firefighter, an EMS responder and the resident were taken to the hospital. None of the injuries were life-threatening.
“We greatly appreciate your prayers and support during this time,’’ AEMS posted on Facebook. “We also ask that you please be ‘weather aware’ and stay safe.”
