With high temperatures expected throughout this week, Pine Bluff Fire & Emergency Services is urging residents to take proactive steps to stay safe during the heatwave.
This week between the hours of 1p.m. to 6 p.m., temporary cooling stations are being set up at several Pine Bluff fire stations to combat the heat and supply some relief from the sun.
Residents can come by, get a drink of cold water and have their vitals checked. Each station will also offer seating and access to electrical outlets for charging devices.
“Our hopes are to identify individuals in the early stages of heat exhaustion and to possibly get them the necessary attention they need,” said Pine Bluff Fire & Emergency Services Chief Randy Compton.
