Emergency Officials Lift "Heat Alert" In Oklahoma

 EMSA dispatchers reported there have been no heat-related emergencies in a 24-hour period, so the "heat alert" has been lifted.

Heat alerts are issued when emergency responders receive five or more heat-related 911 calls. The alerts are dropped when the temperatures drop and the calls come to a stop in a 24-hour period.
