Temperatures of over 100 degrees were the norm in much of southwest Georgia Wednesday.
But southwest GA residents kept their cool, despite a heat-index tipping the scales at 115 degrees:
- Fire and EMS services in Albany told GPB News they had no fire or rescue calls in the last 24-hours.
- Elsewhere, Sumter County schools moved some student activities inside, and others to earlier in the day to beat the midday heat.
- An army spokesperson at Ft. Benning told GPB that, despite the hot weather, there were no changes in maneuvers, and there were no heat-related medical treatments required. Soldiers were instructed to keep hydrated.
