Winter is here

December 21 was the first day of winter! According to the US Dept of Energy, heating uses more energy than all other systems in the home, making up around 29 percent of the average energy bill. Your heating system works to keep your home at the temperature you designate on the thermostat.

Fire Fighter Training

HOEC held Fire Fighter Safety training earlier this week at the Howell Rural Fire Department Classroom. Ty Whittaker, educator with Sho-Me Power, led the training and discussion with the 35 fire fighters. They reviewed safety regarding power lines and talked through scenarios they might face.
