Patrick Pinder, Guadalupe County Emergency Management Coordinator and Fire Marshal, says they’ve been reminding people to take the necessary steps to keep themselves safe and warm. “We just need to make sure that folks are prepared for the cold weather. We want to make sure that you’re wrapping your pipes, you’re protecting your pets, your plants, and things like that -- making sure that you have what you need to stay warm.

Pinder says hopefully people have already checked out their heating units to make sure that they can safely be used during this current cold snap. “We want folks to make sure that everything is working properly. If you haven’t had your your A/C units or heater service, you want to do that once (or twice) a year -- in the summer and in the winter, and make sure everything’s working properly. If you have a gas appliance, you want to make sure your pilot lights are on and that you don’t have any kind of gas issues. You want to make sure that you have all your propane tanks or gas tanks full coming into this colder weather. During these colder seasons, just to make sure that you do have enough to make sure that you’re staying warm,” said Pinder. Temps, pg. 3
