LOCK HAVEN, PA — As temperatures continue to rise across Central Pennsylvania this week, the need for hydration and cooling supplies for first responders has become increasingly important. In response, the Downtown Lock Haven Rotary Club came together to deliver cases of water and Gatorade to 13 emergency service locations throughout Clinton County.

Among the departments receiving supplies were Mill Hall Volunteer Fire Company, Citizens Hose Company No. 5, and the Lock Haven Police Department, helping ensure those serving on the front lines have the resources needed to stay hydrated during prolonged exposure to extreme heat.

With temperatures expected to remain in the upper 90s throughout the week, and Thursday forecasted to reach as high as 99 degrees, officials are reminding residents to take heat safety seriously.
