[0:01] Next on K 2 News, triple digit heat

[0:04] beats down on the Northwest. How folks

[0:06] are staying cool and how emergency

[0:08] workers are helping to keep them safe.

[0:10] Plus, it was 1 week ago today a plane

[0:13] crashed into four homes during the

[0:15] Oregon Air Show. How victims on the

[0:17] ground are still picking up the pieces

[0:20] and a mother and a sheriff deputy fight

[0:23] for a life-saving device to be put in

[0:25] all public places.

[0:28] >> Live at 5, K 2 News, the spirit of the

[0:32] [music] Northwest.

[0:33] >> Good evening everyone, I'm Anna Song.

[0:35] >> And I'm Dan Tilkin. Tonight's top

[0:36] stories of course the sweltering heat.

[0:38] Temperatures hit the triple digits.

[0:41] >> We have team two coverage. K 2's Joe

[0:42] English is tracking the rising mercury.

[0:44] >> But first we begin with K 2's Derek

[0:46] Skiba who's out along the Sandy River

[0:48] with more on how people are trying to

[0:50] stay cool, Derek.

[0:51] >> Well, you can see all the people out

[0:52] here. It's like a an amusement park out

[0:55] here with all these people, but just

[0:56] about an hour and a half ago lifeguards

[0:58] rescued a man over at Glenn Auto Park.

[1:00] He was apparently having seizures in the

[1:02] water, taken out of the water by

[1:04] lifeguards and then taken to a local

[1:06] hospital. Now days like this one with

[1:08] all this heat and all these people, they

[1:10] strain rescue crews on the scene and

[1:12] they also strain those behind the scenes

[1:15] as well.

[1:25] >> Hundreds of people are jumping out of

[1:27] the heat and into the cool Clackamas

[1:29] River.

[1:30] >> There's butterflies in my stomach.
