Country star Reba McEntire expressed gratitude Wednesday after she had to be rescued from a historic building in Atoka, Oklahoma, after the staircase collapsed.
McEntire had to be evacuated on a fire ladder from a second-story window on Tuesday, CNN affiliate KXII reported.
"Thankfully, no one was seriously injured," she wrote on Twitter. "We were safely evacuated from the building thanks to the quick response from the Atoka fire and police departments."
The Emergency Management Director for Atoka, Travis Mullins, told KXII that the stairwell from the second to the third story collapsed, falling onto the staircase from the first to the second floor and trapping people inside.
"Oh it was pretty scary, I was worried about who was downstairs and how bad it was," Coby Scherrill told KXII. He was touring the building with McEntire at the time, the station reported.
