Check on friends and family when extreme winter weather strikes

When extreme cold or winter weather strikes, it’s a good idea to check up on the elderly.  

Dustin Lunow of the Joplin Fire Department tells Newstalk KZRG recommends:

“When things get really cold, or when we have those extreme weather pushes, be sure you reach out to check on your friends and your family.  See if they need anything. There’s always a great idea to reach out there and be that connection, especially if you have elderly friends or friends that don’t get around or drive very well when the weather gets bad.  Well maybe they need something from a store or something like that.”
