City of Trenton Issues Extreme Heat Advisory and Opens Cooling Center

Trenton, N.J. – As a heat wave blazes through the state, the City of Trenton is issuing an extreme heat advisory and opening our city cooling center at Sam Naples Community Center, Tuesday – Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 611 Chestnut Avenue, Trenton, NJ 08611.

The extreme heat and high humidity significantly increase the risk of heat-related illnesses. The City of Trenton advises residents to drink plenty of fluids, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, wear light-colored and/or loose-fitting clothing, and most importantly, check on relatives, friends, and elders. It is also crucial to never leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles, as car interiors can reach lethal temperatures within minutes.
