Eagle Springs Fire was happy to be able to assist with Drone footage for the EF-2 Tornado damage in Montgomery County

Confirmed EF-2 tornado near Candor NC on Sunday, October 11, 2026. A brief, but strong, short-track tornado occurred on the northeast side of Candor in between Brutonville Road and I-73. Drone images and video provided by Eagle Springs Fire Chief assisted in determining the start point between Cherry Circle and Hurricane Drive where a significant number of uprooted and snapped trees occurred. The tornado quickly continued to track roughly northeast where significant damage occurred to a community center which had 3 of its exterior walls collapsed and several more softwood trees were snapped; consistent with high-end EF-1 to low-end EF-2 damage. The tornado continued across a small pond and snapped about 10 hardwood/softwood trees and removed a large portion of roof covering from a residence near Etta Drive. From this point, the tornado quickly lifted, not before snapping small branches, before reaching I-73 with no visible damage from drone footage to the northeast. Special thanks to Montgomery County Emergency Management and the Eagle Springs Fire Chief for their assistance with the survey!

We are heartbroken to share that Firefighter Andrew Brokes died in the line of duty this morning while searching for victims inside the building at 410 Marly Drive.

Firefighter Brokes, who joined the Durham Fire Department on May 5, 2025, served the Durham community with dedication, courage, and a deep commitment to the residents of the Bull City.

“This is a heartbreaking loss for our department, the family, and the entire community,” said Durham Fire Chief Robert J. Zoldos II. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones and his colleagues, and we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during this unimaginably difficult time. The department is standing with and supporting his family in every possible way.”

Two other firefighters were injured during the incident and were taken to Duke Medical Center. Both have received care and are expected to make full recoveries.

This loss is felt across our entire department. Firefighters step into unpredictable situations every day in service to others, and Firefighter Brokes embodied that calling with honor.

We know our community is grieving alongside us. If you wish to share your condolences or messages of support, they will be received with gratitude by our department and by those who knew and loved Firefighter Brokes.

In the coming days, we will share more information about how we will honor his service and support the firefighters involved in this incident.

Thank you, Durham, for surrounding our DFD family with care during this profoundly difficult time.

The chase happened along N.C. Highway 705 and N.C. Highway 24/27, with speeds reportedly exceeding 120 mph.

The incident reportedly stems from an alleged domestic situation in Montgomery County earlier Thursday. Montgomery County deputies had reportedly pursued the same suspect earlier in the day but lost contact with the vehicle during that pursuit.
