LIMON, Colo. — The town of Limon on the Eastern Plains is no stranger to storms, but four solid days of snow was certainly a challenge for first responders in the area. Limon Area Fire Protection District Chief Corinn Perry and Limon Police Chief Lynn Yowell sat down with Denver7 to share how the departments handled such high demand for support throughout the storm.
Three shelters were set up in Limon, along with one in Hugo, to provide overnight space for people. “We're kind of centrally located between Denver and the Kansas border, and we have six or seven highways that either dump or come through Limon,' Yowell said, explaining why so many people ended up in Limon. “That first night, we had 1,000 semis around here — they've got a job to do, too.
