PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona is in the midst of a prolonged heat wave that has produced record-high temperatures in Phoenix, prompted daily calls to the Humane Society about overheated pets and brought triple-digit temps in even typically cooler mountain locations.

Heat-related complications include dehydration, cramps, exhaustion and heat stroke, the agency said. Nicole Pena, the Phoenix Rescue Mission's community relations director, said people living on the streets also are at risk because temperatures continue to soar at night.
