Soaring temperatures will linger around for the time being, which puts stress on our first responders as they are receiving hundreds of calls for heat-related illnesses putting some people in the hospital.
Dallas Fire-Rescue said they are prepared. Since last Friday, they've received 40 heat-related calls.
They'll add additional fire trucks to swap in crews and have specially designated community paramedics doing medical outreach for those out in the elements. At MedStar in Fort Worth, they've responded to almost 400-calls from May 1 through July 5 of this year, which is nearly double from this time last year.
Experts said those who are most at risk are the elderly, young children, people who are not used to this climate and those who have to work outside. They said if you need to be out, hydrate and drink plenty of water.
