HOLLAND, Mich. - Friday is a scorcher for much of West Michigan, so many people are just trying to stay cool. Firefighters in Holland got creative and turned Moran Park into a water play space for kids in the community.
The Holland Fire Department was at the park at 3:30 p.m. to spray the playground and hose the kids down.
High temperatures on Friday will be in the mid 90s and heat-index values could exceed 100° both Friday and Saturday. It's important that everyone stay hydrated, cool and out of the sun for prolonged periods of time.
