Hospitals are reporting a flood of heatstroke victims, and officials are warning the weather is likely to remain at scorching levels.
US President Joe Biden said on Wednesday he will give firefighters’ a pay raise to $15 an hour, as he met with a group of governors to discuss drought, heat and wildfires in the western part of the US.
