Multiple Cooling Stations Open Around Tulsa

Posted: Updated:


Friday, EMSA sent out another "heat alert" warning people to stay hydrated and keep cool.

Thursday, paramedics treated five people for heat related illnesses.

Most of the patients were working outdoors and barely drank any water.

To help people without air conditioning, EMSA has set up several "cooling stations" around town.

They include:

Salvation Army Center of Hope: 102 N. Denver

Tulsa County Social Services: 2401 Charles Page Blvd.

Dennis R. Neill Equality Center: 621 East 4th Street

Senior Nutrition Sites throughout Tulsa  (call 2-1-1 for locations)

Jim Lyall is the Associate Director of Tulsa's Community service Council. He says,  "These are here just in case there's someone who doesn't have a friend, a relative, a religious congregation, a neighbor they can go to. These are the backup plan for what most of us have in our day to day lives."
