THANK YOU KNCO once again, keeping us informed of ANY stories of important information, that is important to our health and safety. Of course you keep us informed of the services that are available to all, young and old.

Waking this morning to the sad/dangerous smell to smoke and grey skies next to the blue that we are blessed with more than not on a daily basis, was frightening.

Tuning in to AND keeping our computer KNCO assures us that our safety is paramount .

Thank you from all that listen
