Effects of heat, and precautionary measures

The Rural Fire Service has sent through to all brigades a couple of very important factsheets on the effects of heat and heat-related illness, with reference to firefighters in the current conditions. It’s suggested all firefighters, as well as those in related areas, read both documents and take note.
