GOODYEAR, AZ — On this ABC15 Weather Action Day, ABC15 took a ride-along with the Goodyear Fire Department to see what crews experience in Arizona's extreme heat.
For the first time in 2024, an Excessive Heat Warning was issued Wednesday — the first of three this week — and temperatures are expected to be hotter than average this summer. On Thursday, Phoenix saw record-breaking temperatures, measuring 113° at Sky Harbor.
Between house fires, mountain rescues, and other heat-related calls, first responders see it all.
