Heat relief stations are open as high temperatures continue

An  extreme heat warning is continuing in Maricopa County on Friday. Temperatures are expected to hit up to 115 degrees in some places. 

Ivan Wild with the Salvation Army says the organization has opened up  heat relief stations. They offer water, a place to recuperate, as well as sanitation necessities. 

“We also have teams where people go out to areas where people may not be close to our facility," Wild said. 

Temperatures are predicted to fall over the weekend. By Sunday there is a 50% chance of storms.
