Summary
Newport’s fire department turned up the chill with a giant “tower shower” at Miantonomi Park, blasting water from noon to three PM to cool off kids and locals during a brutal heatwave. Using gear normally reserved for basement fires, they turned a crisis into a community splash zone—drawing 200 to 300 kids who needed relief from the swelter. It’s proof that creativity, adaptability, and a little water can make a big difference when the heat hits hard.
