Paul C. Holm, executive director of Rebuilding Together Summit County, called the "Heat the Town" event a grand success.

In a newspaper interview with the Akron Beacon Journal, ACCA chairman Larry Burris said, "We discovered 36 dangerous or red-tag issues, six of which were life-endangering situations. Some people are still unaware that keeping your equipment tuned up and in good working order can actually be a life-saving technique."
