Good morning, this is Pittsburgh Local Pulse for Friday, June 27. We begin today with breaking news from Duquesne, where a tragic fire spread across several homes early Thursday, leaving one person dead and three others injured. Firefighters worked through the night along Maple Avenue, and investigators are still determining the cause. Our thoughts are with all those affected.

Turning to public safety, authorities confirm two juveniles were shot and killed Thursday afternoon in Pitcairn. The investigation is ongoing, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward. In a separate crackdown, more than ten people have been charged in connection with a chop shop operation in the region, highlighting law enforcement’s continued efforts to keep our neighborhoods safe.

With this extended heatwave gripping Pittsburgh, the city has announced all six Citiparks cooling centers will remain open today. That includes centers at Brookline, Greenfield, and Homewood, offering some much-needed relief. Libraries and community pools are also seeing a steady stream of folks coming in to escape the heat. If you’re heading outdoors, expect another hot and humid day with temperatures pushing into the upper 80s. Keep hydrated, check on neighbors, and remember, relief from the heat may not arrive until the end of the weekend.

At City Hall, council members this week approved a six-month extension for Integrated Health 21’s wellness portal services, adding eighty thousand dollars to the contract.

In sports, Pittsburgh is making headlines with its bid to host the 2028 World Cup of Hockey. City officials submitted an expression of interest to the NHL and NHLPA, hoping to bring the international event—and its energy and tourism dollars—to PPG Paints Arena. Meanwhile, Oakmont Country Club is the stage for the U.S. Open, as the world’s top golfers contend with tough greens and unpredictable weather. And if you missed it, Spaun wowed fans with a 64-foot birdie putt Thursday.

On the cultural side, summer brings a colorful new public art project to our streets as local fiber artists install vibrant portals for all to enjoy. Kennywood is buzzing, not just with thrill-seekers but a family of ducks enjoying the Plunge ride—making smiles for kids and parents alike.

In job news, new positions are being listed in healthcare, technology, and public works as the city’s summer hiring picks up. If you’re on the hunt, check the latest postings from local hospitals and engineering firms. Real estate remains active as well, with home prices in several neighborhoods holding steady and new listings popping up around Squirrel Hill and Lawrenceville.

Looking ahead, Carnegie Library branches are hosting teen game nights and story hours this weekend, while the Strip District’s night market promises food, crafts, and live music tomorrow evening.

And a final feel-good note, local students from Allderdice High took home silver at the state science fair—a proud moment for Pittsburgh schools.

This has been Pittsburgh Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
