PRESS PHOTOS BY SCOTT M. NAGY Northampton Borough residents get some relief from the heat wave July 23 at Municipal Park, Smith Lane and Avenue, with help from Northampton Borough Fire Department. The firetruck presence was also expected July 24. The municipal pool was closed for the weekend due to lifeguard staffing concerns.
