🔥 Frigid Temperatures Expected Sunday Night – Stay Safe! 🔥
The National Weather Service is forecasting very cold temperatures Sunday night (12/14) into Monday morning (12/15) for our area. Some regions are under an Extreme Cold Watch and Cold Weather Advisory.

Safety Tips for Heating Your Home:
✅ Use space heaters safely – Keep them at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn. Never leave them unattended or use while sleeping.
✅ Avoid using ovens to heat your home – This is a fire and carbon monoxide hazard.
✅ Check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms – Make sure they are working.
✅ Keep vents clear – Ensure proper ventilation for fireplaces and heaters.
✅ Bundle up and protect pipes – Insulate exposed pipes to prevent freezing.
Stay warm, stay safe, and look out for neighbors who may need assistance during these frigid conditions.
