Hot Atlanta police office gets emergency repairs
Atlanta officials make repairs to help police office housing canines
Emergency repairs were made to help a police office constructing that houses police canines. Authorities said as the atmosphere condition did shut away from, the dogs were situated inside basement kennel together with proper temperatures maintained.
COLLEGE PARK, Ga. – Emergency repairs have been made to an Atlanta Police Department airport office.
The building houses special operations units, the canine handlers and their dogs.
The repairs needed because the air conditioning went out. Sources tell FOX 5 it is a chronic problem but airport management, which is responsible for maintenance, will not disclose how long the building was hot.
In the basement of the building that is located in College Park are kennels for the canines.
A spokesperson says appropriate temperatures were maintained in the basement and the canines never were in danger of experiencing excessive heat in the building.
Law enforcement dogs tend to be sturdier than the average household pet. It is because they’re more accustomed to being out in all types of weather, according to veterinarians.
Nonetheless, police are using extra care during the temperatures where it feels like 100 degrees, even more when you are outside.
Should a household pet demonstrate excessive panting, which is how canines perspire, veterinarians recommend wrap them in a cool towel, not an icerapidfilled towel.
The cooling should be gradual.
As for the APD place of work, all the units will be moved next door once a new building the fact that is underneath construction is finished.
In a makeup of a postponement from earlier this month, Jalen Green and the Rockets (-6.5) are in Atlanta to face an injury ravaged Hawks team. For both teams, it’s night two of a split back-to-back.
Seventeen days later than originally planned, the Houston Rockets will make their lone visit of the 2024-25 NBA season to Atlanta on Tuesday night.
The original Jan. 11 date was postponed due to winter weather in the Atlanta area. Since the Rockets and Hawks are in different conferences, they play only twice per season (once in each city).
Because this game was a late addition to the schedule, both teams will be navigating back-to-back considerations — and with travel in-between. Atlanta played at Minnesota on Monday night, while Houston was at Boston.
Due in large part to widespread injuries throughout their roster, the Hawks (22-24) have lost five straight games while falling to No. 9 in the Eastern Conference standings. The Rockets (31-14) remain No. 2 in the West after Monday’s thrilling road victory over the Celtics.
Projected Lineups, Broadcast Info
Rockets at Hawks Betting Odds:
All NBA Odds via BetMGM:
- Point spread: Rockets -6.5
- Money line: Rockets -225 / Hawks +185
- Over-under: 226.5
Rockets at Hawks Injury Updates:
- Rockets: Jabari Smith Jr., out, left metacarpal fracture
- Rockets: Tari Eason, out, left lower leg injury management
- Rockets: Cam Whitmore, questionable, illness
- Hawks: Jalen Johnson, out, left shoulder injury
- Hawks: Trae Young, questionable, right hamstring tightness
- Hawks: Kobe Bufkin, out, right shoulder surgery
- Hawks: Cody Zeller, out, not with team
After his recent return from a lengthy injury, Eason’s absence is due to the team being cautious on back-to-backs for the time being.
Prediction and Picks for Rockets at Hawks:
It’s night two of a road back-to-back for both teams, but the Hawks have significantly more injury concerns and less roster depth in general. That could lead to a good night for the road favorites.
With both teams likely fatigued and not defending with their usual energy , that could make the over a tempting bet. Athletic players who attack the rim — such as Jalen Green, who fared extremely well in Houston’s lone visit to Atlanta last season — could benefit.
Green, Alperen Sengun, and Fred VanVleet are Houston’s three leading scorers, but they combined for only 30 points a night earlier in Boston. (Amen Thompson and Dillon Brooks did the heavy lifting.) That might give Houston’s top scorers a bit more juice on night two of a road back-to-back than they would otherwise have.
Best Bet: Rockets -6.5 (-102)
Favorite Prop: Jalen Green, over 22.5 points (-120)
Prediction: 118-110, Rockets
