6. Chimpanzee licking ice treat at Lincoln Park Zoo
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Dave Bernier, Lincoln Park Zoo:
"People think animals are like adapted to weather extremes like heat, because they come from more tropical areas. But they’re really Chicagoans just like us, and they experience the same weather we do."
8. Ice treat melting and dripping in chimp enclosure
9. SOUNDBITE (English) Dave Bernier, Lincoln Park Zoo:
"So we monitor them not just, you know, in their spaces, but we also monitor their behavior, making sure that they’re not showing signs of heat distress."
10. Chimpanzee licking ice treat

"We provide ice treats for chimpanzees, and it has the same kind of affect as what you would get giving a popsicle to up to a person. It’s cool. It gets them drinking more."
12. Volunteers carrying bottles of cold water onto city bus
13. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Tom Brozek, MD, Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital:
"I think it’s important to try to stay inside in air conditioning as much as you can. If you do have to be outside and in the heat, if you have to work outside, or if you go outside for groceries, just make sure you take small breaks, you’re taking frequent sips of water."
14. Volunteers offer cold bottles of water
15. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Tom Brozek, MD, Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital:
"I think it begins early with just these vague symptoms of headache and not feeling well, feeling fatigued. But it can soon escalate into more serious side effects, such as confusion, not remembering where you are, and what you’ve been doing through the day."
16. Close of bottled water in hands
17. SOUNDBITE (English) Dr Tom Brozek, MD, Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital:

STORYLINE:
As a heat wave stretched into a second day this week, residents in more than half a dozen states are looking for ways to beat the heat amid hot soupy temperatures approaching triple digits.
The National Weather Service has issued excessive heat warnings and advisories Tuesday in large patches of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Cities in multiple states opened cooling centers in response, including Chicago where temperatures were expected to close in on 100 degrees. Some schools dismissed students early.
Members of St. Sabina Catholic Church on Chicago’s South Side, collected over 4,000 bottles of water to give away as temperatures climbed.
“We’re blessing people with water because it is a very hot day," Meryle Davie-Hawthorne said as she passed out bottles kept cold from coolers full of ice.“
Relief is expected soon, with cooler temperatures expected starting Wednesday.
