Despite the threat of the dangerously low temperatures that arrived in DFW Thursday morning, some essential workers have no choice but to be outside. Those who do, say they do what they can to prepare and encourage others to do the same. Among them are father and son Andy and AJ Felps. As Tarrant County Courtesy Patrol Operators, they say…
It’s essential prep work before they hit the road to get to stranded drivers.
Thursday, that included a family with a flat tire in need of some assistance. But Felps said they worry most for those who may run out of gas or need a jump start, leaving them stuck in bone-chilling cold. “When it’s cold weather like this, if there’s any way to take some extra clothes or maybe some extra blankets in the back of the car, somewhere, so that way if you do get stranded you can at least try to bundle up and stay warm,” said Felps.When dealing with weather like Thursday’s, he said they know how quickly they get to someone could be critical.
Still, Felps said there is some comfort in the fact roads remained dry Thursday morning as they did their best to keep themselves and others safe.For non-emergencies, Tarrant County Courtesy Patrol Operators can be reached at 817-884-1213.
