The Boone County Fire Protection District shared photos Saturday of storm cleanup efforts Thursday evening.

Dispatchers received more than 15 calls for service as severe weather conditions moved across northern Boone County, according to the Boone County Fire Department.

Firefighters cleared debris from roadways, inspected damaged structures and assessed vehicles for hazards or injured occupants for several hours. They coordinated with Boone County Joint Communications and local utility companies to make addressing immediate safety hazards their top priority, especially as citizens began assessing the damage in the area, according to Boone County Fire Department.
