Important heat stress facts


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.
