The Sheltering Tree will open a cold-weather shelter tonight, Thursday, Dec. 17, at the Church on the Rock, not only for the homeless but for anyone who is without heat.
Flagler County officials urge residents to take advantage of this option if the alternative is using a heating method that could pose a fire hazard.
“Space heaters need space at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn,” said Flagler County Fire Marshal Jerry Smith. “This space should also be a kid-free zone.”
