Yuma locals dealing with extreme heat as summer begins

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - It's a hot day for everyone in Yuma, but especially for people without a roof over their head.

Tammy Torrence has been living without a home for more than 10 years. She says right now the goal is to stay hydrated.

"I'm in my wheelchair for a few hours a day and then I go where I need to go and then I just try to lie down for a little while," said Torrence.

There are cooling centers in Yuma County.
