Prevent Heat Related Emergencies by Knowing the Symptoms

 


Emergency Management Experts at NHTSA remind us that children become dehydrated more quickly than adults and are at higher risk of heat-related deaths and other dangers.

It is extremely dangerous to leave children (or pets!) alone in a parked car in warm or hot weather “even for a few minutes.” When it is 80 degrees outside, it can get up to 114 degrees inside your car in just 30 minutes!

The temperature inside your car can quickly become deadly — help prevent heat-related deaths by looking around carefully every time, BEFORE you lock your car and walk away from it! This simple step can save lives.

Remember: “Look Before You Lock”

Safety is #1: Always carry a First Aid Kit in your car for safety and peace of mind!


Prevent Heat Related Emergencies by Knowing the Symptoms

• Heat cramps: Muscular pains and spasms due to heavy exertion. They are often the first signal that the body is having trouble with the heat.
• Heat exhaustion: Heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headaches, nausea, fainting. If not treated, the victim’s condition will worsen.
• Heat stroke is a life-threatening condition. The victim’s temperature control system, which produces sweating to cool the body, stops working.

The body temperature can rise so high that brain damage and death may result if the body is not cooled quickly. Symptoms include body temperature above 103°F, hot dry red skin, rapid strong pulse, headache, dizziness, nausea, confusion, unconsciousness.

Call 911 and move the person to a cooler location, remove excess clothing and cool with damp cloths. Do not give liquids.

Stay Warm with Home Heating Safety

According to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA), half of all home heating fires occur during the winter months of December, January and February. Now is the time to make sure your home heating devices are safe, before the weather turns bitter cold.

Follow these USFA winter weather safety tips to maintain a fire-safe home this winter:
• Keep anything that can burn at least three (3) feet from all heat sources including fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators, space heaters or candles.
• Never use an oven to heat your home.
• Maintain heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected annually by a qualified professional.

As always, be sure your home and vehicle safety and first aid kits are up to date.

 

U.S. Fire Administration safety professionals also remind us to test carbon monoxide detectors monthly.

What is carbon monoxide?

Carbon monoxide, also known as CO, is called the “Invisible Killer” because it is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas. More than 150 people in the United States die every year from accidental non fire-related CO poisoning associated with consumer products, including generators. Other products include faulty, improperly-used or incorrectly-vented fuel-burning appliances such as furnaces, stoves, water heaters and fireplaces. Source: Consumer Product Safety Commission
