Heat exhaustion vs heat stroke – do you know the difference?

Heat exhaustion is the body’s response to an excessive loss of water and/or salt contained in sweat. It can be treated by cooling down the body’s temperature by resting in a cool place, taking a cool shower, or drinking water.

When left untreated, heat exhaustion can turn into heat stroke, which is a life-threatening emergency. If you notice yourself or someone displaying symptoms, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

If you are experiencing heatstroke, here’s what to do while waiting for help to arrive.

If the person is unconscious:
• Lay them on their side in the recovery position and check they can breathe properly.
• Perform CPR if needed.

If the person is conscious:
• Do not give them aspirin or paracetamol.
• Move them to a cool area and keep them still.
• Give them small sips of fluid.
• Cool them down with cold water or cool packs.

This isn’t training for show.

This is pressure, noise, heat, teamwork, and consequence.
We invest in realism because real patients don’t get second takes.

Multi-agency response. Live fire appliances. Complex extrication.

Decision-making under stress, exactly where it belongs.
If you want comfortable, look elsewhere.
If you want real, this is it.

Train hard, save lives - at K2 International.

It was an absolute pleasure and a privilege to train alongside the crews from Antrim Fire Station.

Days like this are exactly what good inter-agency working should look like – shared learning, mutual respect and realistic training that benefits everyone involved. We’re proud to support the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service and, most importantly, to contribute to improving pre-hospital care for our communities here in Northern Ireland.

We very much look forward to continuing to build this relationship and developing future joint training opportunities together. Thanks again to the whole team – we’ll see you at the next one.
