MADISON, Wis. -

With more bitterly cold weather heading toward southern Wisconsin, having reliable heat is of utmost importance.

But hundreds of low-income families are getting by without hot water.

Now one local company is working to make lives easier, one water heater at a time.

"There's no government program for it," said Jason Hafeman of Project Home. "There's no help out there for those people."

Hafeman is hoping to alleviate the hot water needs of many in the area by installing new water heaters at a discounted rate.

"I looked at my last job I was working at, and I just said, and I was looking for a change, and I just wanted to do something where I'm helping people," said Hafeman.

"It's taken for granted," continued Hafeman. "I mean everybody, you turn on your shower, you turn on your sink, there's hot water. Everybody just assumes that's how it is for every home owner. But that's not the case."

And the price of not having a water heater can be dangerous.

"The alternative is people boiling water on the stove, putting it in the bath tub to try and heat the water, and for low income people, especially elderly or people with a handicap or disabilities, that can be a big health and safety risk," said Hafeman.

Rounding out the weekend with 55 incidents responded to by noon on Sunday, Parkland Ambulance Care has issued a series of public warnings in a release.

Ambulance

The recent weather fluctuations have resulted in a cycle of freezing and melting, producing ice on steps, walkways and driveways. Parkland Ambulance is encouraging people to use good footwear, to walk with care and do their part to chip away or salt driveways and walkways.

Noting ice buildup on roofs throughout the city, Parkland Ambulance is cautioning people to stay off their roof unless they are properly equipped.

Proper equipment means good footwear and a proper harness to safely prevent you from falling from the roof, the release reads.

If getting up a ladder to visually check your roof be sure the ladder is safely positioned to prevent it from tipping and do not over extend your reach. Consider a professional roofing contractor versus trying to do it yourself.

Furnace filters should also be checked regularly, the release notes, cautioning people that a plugged filter prevents your furnace from working at peak efficiency to remove dangerous gases.

Carbon monoxide detectors are a small price to pay for safety for your family.
