As NYC’s temperatures rise in the summer, so do the risks for outdoor workers who stay outside for dangerously long periods of time in the punishing heat. In the Bronx, immigrant street vendors on Fordham Road can’t afford to take a break — and are finding ways to withstand the unrelenting weather.
