LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The storm that brought 10 inches of snow to Kentuckiana made for a messy situation in downtown Louisville.
Even though many of the businesses were closed, the Downtown Ambassadors were hard at work all day Monday.
They saved dozens of people who were stuck in the snow and helped the business owners who did open clear the snow from their sidewalks if they didn't have the proper equipment to do so.
They even got someone to a shelter.
Some of the ambassadors hopped out of their truck to throw salt down if they noticed some corners looked icy.
"It'd be 80 cars stuck right now. We helped a lot of people," Miracle Thompson, downtown ambassador safety team lead said. "It'd still be people on the streets like before the snow came and we knew the bad weather was coming, we was getting people and taking them to shelters to get them off the street because it's white flag. They can't turn them away. Yeah they need us. We are very important to downtown."
The Downtown Ambassadors are out helping people seven days a week from 7 a.m. to midnight.
