ST. LOUIS One thing we know is that heat is underrated as a killer, 5 On Your Side Chief Meteorologist Scott Connell told the crowd of volunteers Wednesday morning.
Ameren employees teamed up with community members to load 800 air conditioners and 800 LED light bulbs onto trucks bound for St. Louis homes. These 800 air conditioners will save lives, St. Louis Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson told the gathering. Backing up Connell s claim, the chief added, I see the increase in better health because of these air conditioners. I see it every year.
