Most Arizonans see the end of summer as a reprieve. But for some, it's a sign of survival.
Since 2020, at least 270 people in Maricopa County have died at home when their cooling systems failed or were shut off completely. The Arizona Republic dug into the records of these quiet casualties of extreme heat.
This week on The Gaggle, an Arizona politics podcast, we ask an expert what can be done to fix this and what policies could be put into place.
