Tornado brings damage, chaos to Aiken County; Langley Fire Department sustains serious damage

VIDEOS/PHOTOS: The National Weather Service has confirmed that an EF1 tornado hit Langley Monday morning, bringing damage to the Langley Fire Department building and other parts of Aiken County. The tornado is reported to have hit at 3:26 a.m., according to the National Weather Service. The fire department saw lots of damage to their building on Augusta Road due to the high winds. Damage can be seen to the fire departmentโ€™s bay doors and car ports were scattered along yards and roads, according to a News 12 crew on scene. โ€œThe fire pump has a lot of damage. You can tell this is the front part, the back is pretty messed up. We canโ€™t get our engine out. It took the whole door and pushed it all in. We still can get one engine out if we need to and we do have other stations that we can get to help,โ€ said Langley Fire Assistant Chief Harold Cain.
