VIDEO: Jobs in the heat

(NBC) - High summer temperatures have had a vice grip on the Ozarks for a while now, while some are able to escape the triple digit heat at work with air conditioned offices for others, it's impossible.

Roasting in a food truck like Jeremy Mathis and his wife, those who work in the heat say they need to find ways to stay cool.

"I'm usually at my location by eight in the morning so I can blast up the warmer I can turn on the griddle, so I can cook the hot dogs and be done by nine. To where it helps cool down by eleven o'clock, because my employees show up by eleven to help out. I don't want them to go through that heat," says Ozarks owner, Jeremy Mathis.

If you're working outside in this heat or in an enclosed space without A/C, make sure to try to get work done in the cooler times of day like mornings and evenings, stay hydrated and take breaks when possible.
