Be mindful of your neighbors and your friends and family. Many people are forced to use alternative heat methods when the cold temps arrive and there is no money for wood/fuel etc.
The family in this article made the tragic mistake of using a heat gun to attempt to warm a room in their home.
They are not the only family this winter who will make tragic mistakes in trying to keep warm.

Just a reminder that we should watch out for others as the cold temps begin to pour in.

I don't know if your state has it, but here in MN we have pretty good (see, there's my Minnesotan coming out) fuel assistance programs. They really try to get the word out about their services so people can avoid tragedies like this.

I wonder why the man went back in the home? So very sad though.
