Retired Tennessee firefighter helps keep neighbors cool in heat

A retired firefighter and assistant church minister is trying to keep people cool as the weather warms up. About 20 years ago, Dwight Ogle started a program called Cool Aid to help members of his community during dangerous heat waves. He receives calls from people who donate air conditioners and new box fans to those suffering from the high temperatures, then delivers and installs them. He says his Cool Aid program has helped more than 500 people.
