Huntersville Fire Department issued the following announcement on Jan. 16.
We’ve been getting the word out all week, across multiple news networks. Ice & power outages are our concerns with this storm. Only use 911 for actual emergencies. Power outages:
Duke Energy: 1-800-Power-On
Energy United: 1-800-Eunited
ElectriCities: 704-892-7426
Our tips:
– Immediately test & ensure that your smoke and CO alarms are operational & have NEW batteries.
– Avoid using candles for light and/or heat.
– Do not use the oven for heat.
– Space heaters – plug into the wall socket directly, no extension cords, not a permanent solution.
– Generators should be outside (front porch, garage or back porch is NOT outside).
– Charge all your devices NOW well ahead of the storm.
