An excessive heat warning and fire risks are in effect for North Texas until late Sunday evening. Still, people are stepping up to meet the needs of others despite the ongoing oppressive temperatures.
While the discomfort is temporary for some, there are others who don’t have a way to stay cool. The Salvation Army stepped into the gap. Christina Cavalier is the Director of Community Relations for the Salvation Army of North Texas.
Cavalier said cooling stations are open across their six-county service area in North Texas and will remain open for as long as needed. In a single day last week, Medstar, the EMS authority based in Fort Worth, treated 22 patients for heat-related illnesses. Just days before that, crews treated 24 patients: the second-highest single-day total since May.
“We see people time and time again who step up for their community, and we’re grateful for them,” Cavalier said.
