Constant hydration is the key to avoiding heat illness. That's the advice from Richmond Ambulance Authority COO Amit Patel. The RAA has been seeing more calls recently due to heat exhaustion. Patel says this is avoidable if you keep a go-to cup or a bottle full of water.

Roanoke's Fishburn Park is undergoing a transformation with plans to convert a 200-year-old caretaker's cabin into a coffee shop. The project, approved by City Council last August, has faced challenges and community debate. WDBJ reports the owners have been granted an 18-month extension to pursue historic designation for the cabin before construction can begin. The project's timeline has been adjusted to accommodate ongoing developments, with a completion goal set for March 2026.
