Communities open cooling stations amid summer heat wave

IU Health sees increase in patients with heat illness

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Extreme heat has made its way back to Indiana this week. Communities on Monday announced they’re opening cooling centers and stations for those in need during the severe heat.

In Shelbyville, the Salvation Army is offering free fans for residents meeting certain criteria, including those living in households with seniors or young children, without working air conditioners. There is a limit of only one per household. Anyone interested should contact the Salvation Army at 317-398-7421.

Several Salvation Army locations will be open into the evening, and Indy Park has more than a dozen cooling centers across the city to help residents who need a break from the heat.
