LYNCHBURG, Va. - If you need a place to beat the heat in Lynchburg, you're in luck. The City of Lynchburg also shared a list of heat safety tips on their website:Drink more fluids (non-alcoholic), regardless of your activity level. Dont drink liquids that contain alcohol or large amounts of sugar - these actually cause you to lose more body fluid. Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place. Taking a cool shower or bath, or moving to an air-conditioned place is a much better way to cool off.
