Another tip is to wear light, loose-fitting clothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou want to drink as much fluid frequently, take frequent breaks in the shade, and then try to be in an air-conditioned place if you can,\u201d Lojero said.<\/p>\n<p>KTAR News 92.3 FM\u2019s Colton Krolak contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-follow-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kstonezone\" data-show-count=\"false\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Follow @kstonezone<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We want to hear from you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px;\">Have a story idea or tip?
