Schools in Newton, Massachusetts, have canceled after-school activities as the blistering hot weather continues.
And Worcester Public Schools ended the school year early due to lack of air conditioning in many of its buildings.
Boston fire officials said one of the men working on a roof was overcome by heat exhaustion. They said he was conscious, but very weak, so firefighters used ladders and a bucket to get him down from the roof and transport him to a hospital. “When the heat hits the roof, it goes even higher, so they said it gets up to 140 degrees while they’re working there, because the shingles are made to reflect the sun and the heat away," said Keith Williams, who witnessed the rescue.
Emergency officials say you shouldn't wait in a situation like that – call for help when someone is overcome by the heat.
