OVERLAND PARK, Kan. â Excessive heat is making a comeback to the Kansas City area, and firefighters are getting ready. The heat is always a big problem for us, said Michael Levasseur, a firefighter with the Overland Park Fire Department.
He said the gear they use weighs 60 pounds and conditions inside a house fire can heat up fast. If we re doing interior house fire type stuff, our body temperature can get up to 104 in these, Levasseur said.

Are two face masks better than one in shielding against COVID-19? Here s what Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert in the United States, had to say.
This week, Fauci was asked if people should wear more than one mask simultaneously. He responded it made more sense that it would be more effective.
As COVID-19 continues to cut a steady path throughout the U.S., some people wonder what they can do to combat the novel coronavirus and its variants in addition to standard regulations.
Are Two Face Masks Better Than One?
According to Dr. Fauci, It likely does because this is a physical covering to prevent droplets and virus to get in. If you have a physical covering with one layer and you put another layer on it, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective, reported WJHL.
