Reba McEntire gets rescued from building in Oklahoma after stairs collapse

Country superstar credited Atoka fire and police officials for assisting in a safe evacuation

Reba McEntire was one of multiple people rescued from a historic building in Oklahoma this week after a stairwell collapsed.

Video obtained by News 12 shows the country superstar being assisted out of a second-story window and onto a fire ladder by firefighters in downtown Atoka, Okla.

"We were just touring the building and the stairwell was weak but we did not realize how weak it was until several people had gone down it and then we heard the crash and saw the stairs fall," another visitor at the site named Coby Scherrill recalled to the outlet.

The city's Emergency Management Director, Travis Mullins, confirmed to Fox News that the incident took place on Tuesday.

McEntire confirmed to Fox News that she was at the historical building, but was "safely evacuated."

"While my team and I were in Atoka, OK yesterday checking out an old historical building, a staircase collapsed," the country music star told Fox News in a statement. "Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. We were safely evacuated from the building thanks to the quick response from the Atoka fire and police departments."
