Thread Name: BS: How to survive the heat wave
Subject: RE: BS: How to survive the heat wave
drink lots of water and fluids
cuz your body cannot cool itself
from the inside without adequate
supplies...fire fighters often have
to remind each other of this...i have
been in out doors work situations where i
easily consumes gallons of liquids in a day.
some fire stations have colored posters inside
the toilet doors with descriptions of the color
the toilet water should be if you are getting enough
to drink. the lighter yellow the water is the better you
are hydrated. if you are feeling thirsty, it is past the
time that you should have something to drink. Hydration is
one of the best defenses against heat-related injuries such as
Heat Cramps, Heat Exhaustion and Heat Stroke. Drink!
