7. What Should You Do When Someone Shows Signs of Heat Stroke
The main priority of first aid for heat stroke is to cool the overheated people down. This can be done by putting them in cold water, pouring cool water over them or placing ice packs around their body. You should consider removing any tight clothing they are wearing to help them cool down faster.
Try to help affected people remain conscious and alert. If it is possible, have them drink cool water or juice. Move them indoors if you can; if you are unable to, take them to a shaded area instead.
