Families trying to stay cool as heat wave hits Central California
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — People across the Valley are doing what they can to stay safe during this heat wave.
“Today was about to be 100 degrees,” said Angelo Gonzales of Fresno. “So we were looking at public splash areas and this is one of our closest ones that we went to.”
On Saturday afternoon, families were out at Fig Garden Loop Park in Northwest Fresno, trying to stay cool in the shade.
Gonzales set up his family’s beach tent in front of the splash pad, so that they can try and beat the heat. They also brought with them other supplies.
“We do have sunblock and we do have a towel,” said Gonzales. “Just to make sure she stays nice dry and after we take off. But definitel sunblock is a must.”
It’s a refreshing spot that Gonzales and his wife like to take their daughter Talia to, when the weather gets hot. Gonzales said last summer they would come to the splash pad a few times a week.
For Talia it is a refreshing retreat.
“I like the thing where you have to wait and the water drops on your head,” said Talia.
With triple digit temperatures expected over the next few days, the Fresno Fire Department is expecting to get more calls for heat related illness.
That’s why the agency has this reminder.
“As folks are coming into the weekend, wanting to have a good time, find ways to cool off, we want to remind everybody the importance of staying hydrated,” said Josh Sellers with the Fresno Fire Department. “Drink plenty of water. Also limiting the amount of time that your outdoors.”
First responders said it’s also important to check in on each other during these dangerously hot days, especially for those in sensitive groups.
“Our youngsters and our elderly that maybe more susceptible to the hear related injuries,” said Sellers.
The City of Fresno also set up cooling centers for people to get some relief. If people need to get to those cooling centers, FAX is offering free rides to the sites.
But after a refreshing retreat at the splash pad, Gonzales said he’s looking to take his family out for milkshakes.

Congressman Kevin Kiley has announced his plan to run in California’s newly redrawn 6th district.
In a statement on Monday, Rep. Kiley revealed he had considered running in the 5th District – which could have set up a possible showdown between two current Republican officeholders.
“It’s true that I was fully prepared to run in the new 5th, having tested the waters and with polls showing a favorable outlook in a “safe” district. But doing what’s easy and what’s right are often not the same,” Kiley stated.
Kiley currently represents California’s 3rd district, which originally comprised counties making up much of the back spine of the state.
As of the Prop. 50 redistricting push, the 3rd district was redrawn for the 2026 midterm election to lean toward the Democratic Party – with those eastern spine of California counties lopped off and more of Sacramento County, including Rancho Cordova, added.
California’s new 6th district is now comprised of Rocklin, Roseville, Citrus Heights, much of North and East Sacramento, and the city of West Sacramento. Democratic Rep. Ami Bera currently represents the district, but will be running for the new 3rd district in 2026.
Other declared candidates for the 6th district include Democrats Lauren Babb Thomlinson, Thien Ho, Richard Pan, Kindra Pring, Tyler Vandenberg, and Republicans Christine Bish, Craig DeLuz, and Raymond Riehle.
Kiley was first elected to the House in 2022 and was reelected in 2024.
SAN RAMON, Calif. (KGO) — An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 3.4 struck near San Ramon at 11:21 p.m. Sunday, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
USGS said the tremor was about 8.4 km in depth.
According to the Geological Survey, people typically report feeling earthquakes larger than about magnitude 2.5.
The closer to the surface an earthquake occurs, the more ground shaking and potential damage it will cause.
No injuries have been reported.
