It will begin operating as a cooling center Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and will serve as a cooling center through Sunday.
The Visalia Fire Department provides the following tips to help cope with the coming heat:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and , when possible, stay in the shade or an air-conditioned room.
- Wear loose fitting, light colored clothes.
- Drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids.
- Never leave children or pets in a vehicle, even for short periods of time. Temperatures inside vehicles can climb rapidly to life-threatening levels, even with the windows partially open.
- Periodically check on children and the elderly. Remember that animals are affected by the heat. Make sure pets and farm animals have plenty of water and access to shade.
