Sponsored by:

Update at 5:38 p.m.: Calaveras Public Health officials are updating cooling center information with a new location.

Due to the excessive heatwave, several cooling centers will remain open through Thursday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. each day.

They include at the Jenny Lind Elementary School in Valley Springs, Mark Twain Elementary School in Angels Camp, San Andreas Library, and now a new location in Copperopolis: Copper Grille at Copper Valley Golf Club.

The latter location replaces Copperopolis Elementary School, which on Monday served as a county cooling center location.

As reported below, Murphys Fire Protection District is also hosting a location in the district’s training center at 58 Jones Street from 1 to 6 p.m. daily until further notice.

Update at 12:35 p.m.: Another cooling center is in place to help Calaveras County residents without AC beat the heat.

Murphys Fire Protection District officials say they have opened a center more easily accessible to Highway 4 corridor residents. It is located in the district’s training center at 58 Jones Street and is open from 1 to 6 p.m. daily until further notice.

Face coverings or masks are required to enter and staff will also be doing temperature screenings. For those who do not already have their own mask, there is a limited supply available.
