By Cool Draft
Here are some important heat stress facts firefighters should consider:
- Since 1994, the fire service has been averaging between 90 and 105 deaths per year.
- During a fire, studies show firefighters core body temperatures can often reach 104° and higher.
- Over the last 10 years, the fire service has been averaging 95,000 — 105,000 annual injuries. Over one-half have been injuries that occurred during emergency operations.
- The Cool Draft has proven to gradually, and safely, reduce the effects of heat stress in a designated rehab area or on the sidelines.
- We test each Cool Draft unit before it is packaged, to ensure each unit is properly working for the best quality possible.
- If it doesn’t say Cool Draft, we cannot guarantee the quality, dependability, or reliability.
