EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. — Northern California firefighters helped keep cows cool by spraying them with water after the truck that was transporting them broke down on Saturday.
With triple-digit temperatures in the forecast, the El Dorado Hills Fire Department responded to Latrobe Road just south of White Rock when a truck broke down.
That truck was taking cows in a trailer that was sitting in direct sunlight. Firefighters used hose lines to keep the cows cool.
"We are proud to serve our community," the fire department said.
Utah is experiencing its own heatwave.
"Cooler weather moves in by Monday with highs returning to the upper 70s. A low pressure system will track across far southern Utah to bring rain and storm chances to southern Utah Monday and Tuesday," says KSL meteorologist Kristen Van Dyke.
The National Weather Service issued an advisory about the possibility of flash floods in southern Utah, with Zion National Park and Snow Canyon/Red Cliffs having a higher probability of flooding on Monday.
Consider a plan B if your plans take you into slot canyons, dry washes, and other flash flood prone areas Monday afternoon and evening. #utwxpic.twitter.com/mGiKCMiSqJ
