Sweet heat relief

The Luverne Fire Department had the best idea all weekend when they set up the ladder truck to sprinkle passersby as they came through the parking lot between Lincoln Street and Luverne Street Saturday afternoon. As temperatures climbed into the upper 90s, children and adults alike paused to cool off under the cool mist. Pictured at right, Hayden Elbers gets a drink from a pipe on the rear of the fire truck. The fire department members also served burgers Saturday afternoon as a fundraiser for their organization.
