Yes, firefighter, medical first responder. I get the firefighter deaths in email that I then route to our crew. I wonder if there is a simular page for E.M.S. workers. I'll see. Here is the link, and you can sign up under the e-mail list link. Biggest cause of firefighter deaths....heart attack!! www.usfa.fema.gov |

Drink lots of water in the heat. Don't wait until it's hot to start hydrating. Especially people with health concerns. They need to be extra careful.
What else?

Just a post update. I'm currently posted in the thriving metropolis of Lagarto,Tx. Population; 98. Strangely enough, it pays more than I was making as Director of Taft.
