Firefighters, hauling up to 60 pounds in gear, are being deployed in teams to avoid burnout, while outdoor training is off-limits. City crews are now working dawn-to-dusk in cooler hours, rotating tasks, and cooling off in AC whenever possible. Meanwhile, a state council is stepping up with safety workshops, online guides, and policy reviews to protect workers on the front lines. This heat wave is reshaping daily life — from families to essential workers — with staying cool and hydrated now the non-negotiable priority.
