Federal officials described President Donald Trump's July 4 celebration as "safe" and "well-prepared" just hours after a record heat wave forced organizers to shut down the Great American State Fair and paramedics rushed to aid attendees, several of whom were reportedly hospitalized.

In a joint statement Friday, Freedom 250, the U.S. Park Police, the National Park Service, the Secret Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency said they had coordinated to expand cooling resources, water stations and medical support for the "Salute to America" event.

"We are proud to welcome the public to a safe, well-prepared, and truly memorable celebration of America's 250th birthday," the statement read.
