North Texans are dealing with the challenges of dangerously high temperatures and getting creative in finding ways to stay cool.
DART opened seven additional transit stations with air and water fountains and partnered with the Salvation Army which opened its own cooling centers in Dallas, Denton, Collin, Tarrant and Ellis Counties.
Cooling stations will be opened when there is a forecast of 100 degrees or higher, usually for more than one day, or if there's a heat index of more than 105 degrees for more than two days in a row.Dallas County Resident, Summer Galvez witnessed this recently when an exhausted delivery driver, stood in her front yard sprinklers for a moment of relief.MedStar said they’ve responded to 150 heat-related calls since May and prevention is key.
As the public keeps an eye on weather watches and advisories, Galvez said we should also look out for each other.
